place "home" link in navigation/menu bar
-
Hi!
I’ve been trying to figure out how to place a “home” link in my navigation/menu, but I can’t figure it out. My header.php seems to be written differently compared to most themes.
I know you can make a page that is titled “home” and it will show up in the navigation bar, but I wanted a link that would take the reader back to the home page.
Just in case:
my header.php code: https://pastebin.com/RiRxy6tw
my website: https://www.audreydao.com
My theme is called BFA Round Tabs 1.10 by BytesforallI did go onto the Bytesforall forum for help, but no one seemed to have my problem.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Your template has a ‘home’ link on every single page. A web standart is to have it “embedded” on the blog/site name and/or logo.
I navigated on your site and was able to return to the index by clicking on your logo, try it yourself:
I noticed that, but I’m afraid people won’t know to click on my logo/name to return home. So I was just thinking of adding a noticeable home link in my navigation.
Thank you for responding!
Can you paste your header.php code here?
