Then call that page from your menu and it should all work nicely.
except that now user cannot display any cuctom page options if available like template or add custom header/sidebar.
Please check this again https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-root-is-overriding-user-created-forum-index-page/ since it is a 6 year old bug that no one wants to look at and everyone needs fixed.
2 months not even a hint and you know it is a bug. is_bbpress does not work as advised.
