Howdy…I’ve searched high and low and only find help that is 2 years old. I need to put a navigation bar on my BBPress page so people can link back to my WP site. I can’t believe I can’t find a plugin for this. Or maybe I need a new theme (There don’t seem to be many)? The top of this forum has a navigation bar. I just need something like that. Thanks!

That’s just adding in the link in your theme.

Seriously You can edit your header.php to have this, no plugins needed.

Uhhh…I’m no programmer. Messing with actual code could get me in a lot of trouble. Is there an easier way? WordPress has tons of Plugins to make things like this simple. I can’t find much in the way of Plugins for BBPress.

Theming is not coding. Well, it’s HTMLing, which isn’t really coding.

See: http://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

All you have to really do with your new theme is a style.css (in which all you have to do is specify the name of your theme etc) and the header.php (where all you need is to add the header you want). The rest of the files will be pulled from bbPress’ default theme, Kakumei.
