I have added buddypress forum short code “[bbp-forum-index]” to my page “forums” but instead of showing forum the page i showing code itself. Any solutions to this?

Also built in buddypress forums says it jas been retired. So should i use both buddypress and Bbpress simultaneously? Will it cause any issues? As buddypress already contains Bbpress components is it necessary to install Bbpress along with buddypress?

@yoshimitsu1234 Please always check the BP codex for matters like this.

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

The bundled cut down version of bbPress that shipped with BP for groups was removed a few versions back, if you have legacy forums in use then it’s best to update things to use bbPress 2.* The guide above explains how to proceed.
