If you want to use the bbPress plugin instead of the bundled forums in BuddyPress, try these steps:
1. Login to the WP admin dashboard, navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Enable the “Discussion Forums” component and save.
2. Navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Click on the “Pages” tab. Under “Discussion Forums”, select “None” and save.
3. Navigate back to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Make sure you’re on the “Components” tab. Uncheck the “Discussion Forums” component and save.
Edit your “Community” page in WordPress, add the shortcode:
[bbp-forum-index]
On a separate line and without any special tags or characters around it. If you’re using the Visual Editor, change to “Text” mode to ensure there are no special tags.
See if that helps.
