Well this is still an issue and the very first problem I ran into within minutes of installing bbpress. I am no expert as I am new to this plugin but what seems to be a workaround for this is to just name both the forum root and the single slug with the same name (in most cases, “forum”). You will get a red warning in the admin that says “Possible bbPress conflict: Forum slug” but so far it seems to make no difference on the front end. Am I setting myself of future disaster here though?
I am a little concerned with my choice of bbpress now as I see this has been a well voiced topic of concern for over 7 years and nothing has been done to fix it. Should I be considering a different solution altogether?
