+1 on this. I'm having the same issue, @yihui. If it helps, I do see the navbar when running hugo with the exampleSite via:

hugo server --source exampleSite --themesDir ../..

Otherwise, the navbar isn't showing up for me.

Okay, I've found my mistake. If @kingofcube did what I did, then they copied the contents of hugo-xmin's example site into the top-level directory, after creating a new site with hugo new. The problem with that is that hugo new will create a hugo.toml, but exampleSite uses a hugo.yaml. I am guessing that hugo is ignoring hugo.yaml in favor of the toml file, which doesn't have any configuration about the navbar. I just deleted the hugo.toml that hugo new generates.

I don't think this is actually an issue.
