I registered here just to help you, because i was having this same issue.

I was frustrated as well… BUT the solution is so simple. Too bad theres no documention to tell everyone.

Whatever u changed the BBPress “Forums base” name to, make a wordpress page with that permalink. And then put in the short code [bbp-forum-index] (or any BBPress shortcode u like).

If you changed the BBPress Forums base name to “theboards”, then make a new wordpress page with the same permalink “theboards”. So your forum will be located at mywebsite.com/theboards, regardless of if you create new forums or topics, theres nothing there. Create a page, pop in that shortcode or any of the ones at the link below and ZAP BOOM POW, go to mywebsite.com/theboards and its there! lol

Hope that helps.
