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"); ?>

You could pretty much make a codex out of your plugins and tips _ck_ Another great one!
