I have only been using Buddypress for about a week and everything has gone well. I did not like the forum so decided to use Mingle forum. It was showing up well but I have now changed templates and am now using ‘bp nicey’. The problem is that a forum tab does not show up in the top nav area. I can navigate to the page and it all works fine just wont show up at the top. Any ideas on what I may need to do?

Sorry if I have not explained myself properly and any help will be much appreciated. I’ll try to answer any questions too as best as I can.

Create first a child theme
insert a copy of template file ->bp-default /header.php
in header php, insert some html for your button – included with your the forum url – in the menu (take exemple from within the existing code to do that)

After that activate your child theme in buddypres theme. Done !

OK, thanks I will try and give that a go, seems easy enough to follow.
