Is there a preferred WP theme when using the Vanilla Plug In?

I have a WP site. I decided to play with Vanilla some to learn about it.

I uploaded the plug in to my back end successfully, but can't seem to get it to appear on the front end.

I thought perhaps I might have to update the WP theme. Is there a preferred theme? Here is what I have now.

WordPress 3.8.1 running Twenty Twelve theme

    There are a couple more steps. I assume you are trying to embed your forum. You need to enable the embed plugin. Look for Vanilla in the plugin list.

    You also need to paste the javascript onto a page to make it work in WordPress. Any theme will work. This article post should help with the WordPress side of things: http://blog.vanillaforums.com/help/embed-forum-wordpress/ . This aspect is the same hosted or self-hosted.

    Well what I am running into is:

    I click Vanilla Forum The click "Set up" from there.

    I created a .com/forum page in the page creator.

    Then I try to validate the page & nothing can't find a Vanilla forum at that page error.

    I have it hosted at West Host so perhaps that's an issue.
