I’d like to hear from other bbPress/Buddypress users on whether they’ve managed to successfully upgrade from Legacy Group Forums to bbPress.
So far I have not had success, as the end result is a Forums page with Group Forums as the root and an unformatted row of the group forums. There is no forums list with “freshness” despite putting [bbp-forum-index] in the Forums page
The steps I followed closely is in the Buddypress wiki and reproduced with some elaboration here:

This was done with all plugins except Buddypress and bbPress installed.

unfortunately, i’ve the same problem. I don’t know what was wrong to continue BP group forum. It was okay. Now it’s retired and i’m stuck with bbpress. When i click on Forums link, it shows me a blank page with Edit Post link. Why people stop thing that just works? Is it a bottleneck of using open source sotfware?

You did put [bbp-forum-index] in your Forums page did you not?

I am pleased to report I managed to successfully upgrade to bbPress from legacy forums
The proper code to put in the Forums page is:
[bbp-topic-index]
