Is there a way for me to pull my page navigation over from wordpress to put in my header instead of having to manually change the page navigation in bbpress anytime I add a page in wordpress?

Integrate your forums with your wordpress seamlessly.

In this case header/footer will work same for both.

Just enable WordPress functions in bbPress and paste this in your header:

<?php wp_page_menu(); ?>

If you wanna have a homelink:

<?php wp_page_menu('show_home=Home'); ?>

You can do that with deep integration by what MathiasB suggested or how your theme handles it. wp_page_menu or wp_list_pages()

Better one – Copy over the html of navigation to bbPress side. Its not worth using deep integration just for this alone.

But it’s a lot more easy, when you add a page in WP will it automatically appear in the header of bbPress…

But on slower hosts will it slow down a lot your site.
