   Simply edit your theme. Look for header.php

   There are several ways to get it done. Here's one that is probably going to be the easiest for you.

   1. Create an empty page called Forum with the slug forum
   2. Create a file in your theme directory called forum.php
   3. In that file, put the following:
      

      <?php 
      
      header('Location: http://yoursite.com/forum/');
      die();
      
      ?>

      Be sure that the file starts with <?php and there is no whitespace in front of the <.

   This will create a link to the (empty) forum page, which would redirect to the forum.
