Yes, you should create a page with the same name as the directory where you installed bbPress. So, if you installed bbPress in a directory called /forums/ create a page called “Forums” with a slug of “forums” and WordPress will use that directory before it ever shows your blank page.

If that does NOT work, there are simple plugins to redirect any WordPress Page to a URL, so you could use one of those if you wanted to do that instead.
