Hi Matthewm,
Our theme is compatible with bbPress. Did you select the contact us template and using the shortcode on it? You can create a page and use the shortcodes [bbp-forum-index] and use a default template. If you are trying to add bbPress on sidebar then it won’t work. It will only display on page but not on sidebar.
Could you provide your site Url too? So that we can look on it.
Thank you!
