Forum Link

am I missing a setting in admin for a forum link in either the header or footer?

Hi,

If you are using the MegaMenu plugin, which comes with the Traction theme, you can enable the Forum link by going to Administration -> Plugins -> Nop Mega Menu -> Settings and from the Mega Menu Items Settings check Include "Forum" link setting.

Also, you need to make sure that the Forums are enabled. You can do this by going to Administration -> Configuration -> Settings -> Forum settings

Hope this helps!
