 * I did this:
    1. If you kept the default “forums” slug in Settings > Forums, you
   can create a new Page via Pages > Add New. Add Title “Forums” and insert the 
   forums index shortcode and/or other bbPress shortcode you’ll find in the bbPress
   Codex then publish the new page. The page doesn’t show the forum, reply, topic?
 * But I am not sure what shortcodes to use.
    Do they go in the Edit Forums page?
   Or the text box when you start a new page?
 * bbPress Shortcodes?
