 * Has anyone else had a problem inserting php into their widgets and having it 
   work??? How did you resolve it? I have tried several different plugins, but come
   up with the same error every time:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function search_form() in /home/xxxx/public_html/
   blog/wp-content/plugins/plugin name/plugin.php(100) : eval()’d code on line 1
 * line 1 consists of <?php
 * any thoughts? is there something else going wrong here? i know that my code is
   fine because it works on the bbpress end of things, just not on the wordpress
   pages. help!

 * <?php search_form( $q ); ?>
    <?php login_form(); ?>
 * I think a little lightbulb went off in my head… I never copied the login/search
   forms over to the wordpress side. Doh! Thanks! 🙂

 * I’m not much of an expert…
 * but what is search form doing? Should it be an include?

 * its just a search box for the website… i’m not an expert either, this is sort
   of like fumbling around in the dark for me 🙂
 * I wonder if I just put the code from the forms in there instead of just referencing
   them if it will work… might give that a try.
