I’m trying to detect requests for the bbpress forum index page.

Initially I tried ‘bbp_is_forum_archive()’.
This doesn’t return true from the forum archive page.

I decided to test if any bbpress conditional tags were working, so I tested ‘is_bbpress’, because the function calls many (maybe all?) of the other conditionals.

However, ‘is_bbress’ doesn’t return true either.

However, on any page in my site, whether bbpress is on that page or not, this condition returns true:
‘if ( ! is_bbpress() )…’

What could be happening here?

This is my function and the hook I’m using:

add_action('init', 'test_bbpress');
function  test_bbpress() {

    if (  is_bbpress()  ) {
	wp_die("got to the forums page") ;
    }

}

there is an action hook on the forums index so

add_action ('bbp_template_before_forums_index' , 'test_bbpress');
