I have old version 2.2.4 of bbpress installed on our site.
I have to use old version because already for a long time have problem that
if I update the plug-in forums page breaks!
From forums/ page disappears forums list but all subpages like forums and topics are working and I can access them in browser.

Forums page is created with Method 1 here https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#method-1

I spent a whole day trying to find out what’s wrong with newer version but could not find the reason why Forums page disappeared.

Please help!

P.S. I found that forums/ page is registered when forum post type registration happened, but I could not find out where exactly in bbpress code forums page template is plased. Could anyoone at least help me with that?

only thing i can recommend really is backup your site a few times then perform an upgrade to the latest version to see if that fixes the issue.

also make sure you have the latest version of WordPress.

and that your theme is upgraded to the latest version with and make sure you follow these guides if theme compatibility just doesnt work anymore.
