Here's how to use bbPress outside the bbPress directory

   You might want to create a static page outside of your bbPress installation that still uses the matching header and footer you have in bbPress. Well it's very easy.

   Make yourself a directory above bbPress with any name you'd like, let's say "/about/"

   In "/about/" make an index.php with this content:
   

   <?php
   require('../forums/bb-load.php');    // change /forums/ to your actual forum path
   add_action('bb_head','about_css');
   include(bb_get_active_theme_uri()."header.php"); 
   
   function about_css() {   //  put any custom CSS you want in here
   echo '<style>
   img {border:0;}
   </style>';
   }
   ?>
   
   <h3 class="bbcrumb"><a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> &raquo; About</h3>
   
   <h2>About</h2>
   
   Your "about" text goes here!
   
   <?php  include(bb_get_active_theme_uri()."/footer.php"); ?>
