What happens if you wrap that code in a proper code element?
No worries about posting security stuff here. Live and learn.
I’m going to put up a sticky post here with more clear directions, and when/where to do what/why.
It’s come up a few times now, where people have been using
add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );
incorrectly. As a result, I’ve added some extra checks and failsafes to make sure that even if you incorrectly report that your theme supports bbPress, it will still fall back to the theme compatibility files. This kind of change is pretty late in the game, so be sure to update your installations and report if anything breaks.
1. Change the forums base to something else. I am running it perfectly fine over at testbp.org by changing the base to ‘discussion’
2. The reason for the double ‘forum’ is because your root slug is ‘forum’ and the forum slug is ‘forum’ and you’re choosing to include the root slug.
3. Don’t remove the forum slug.
Widgets should work anywhere you have a widgetable area. Since your theme is mostly custom, you’ll want to research how widgets work, insert your sidebar, etc…

Don’t use “add_theme_support()” unless your theme actually supports it.
add_theme_support() doesn’t automatically add bbPress support to your theme, but the opposite – it tells WordPress and bbPress that your theme already supports bbPress. If you don’t have a /bbpress folder in your theme full of bbPress template files, then your theme does not support bbPress.
There isn’t a core updater yet, but there will be soon. These questions are all answered numerous times in the sticky topic at the front of these forums.

@Rick – Can you create a new topic with these questions please? They are starting to pertain specifically to helping you with your site, and not with bbPress. Thanks
@Daily Anarchist – Your theme doesn’t use a conventional WordPress header, and it’s missing the appropriate call to
wp_head();
which is how WordPress themes load dynamic content in the
<head>
of the page.
There is also no reference anywhere in your source to a wp-content folder, which is where your theme and any related plugins should be loading from. With something that’s this outside of the norm, you’re going to run into lots of incompatibilities with many plugins as you go. I’m actually pretty happy that bbPress looks as good as it does considering there’s no CSS applied to it at all.
As a general note going forward to everyone, if you have site specific questions please post up new topics and tag them ‘plugin’ so that we keep this sticky focused on the bbPress plugin, and not supporting your sites. Thanks
I’ll do my best to keep things error free going forward.
Feeds are coming soon too, so be on the look-out.

@tooltrainer – unrelated, and fixed. Try the latest revision.
Was a bug with subforums, categories, and topic/reply counts.
