I added a bbpress subdirectory to my theme and got a blank screen. I was using a “silence is golden” index.php file in the subdir and removing that fixed it. I guess the subdir acts as a subtheme or something (though it has no style.css file).

Interesting thing is I could also fix it by dropping in the files from plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras to my main theme directory, following the instructions here: `http://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Posting this in case it helps anyone else.

My theme uses index.php in the main directory for most pages, by the way. (In other words, my theme does not have page.php, single.php, etc.) So you can sorta see what happened, it got overridden as in a subtheme.
