Profile Menu – Adding Links In The Drop Down

[jwchameleoncorp]

Hello,

Is there a way to add links in the Profile Menu Drop Down?

Already tried this topic: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/add-menu-item-to-the-profile-drop-down-menu

But had no luck.

Thanks!

Hi @laura

Yep, I received an error. It displayed in the top of the page.

Hi @laura

I figured out what I did wrong. Tried it again, and got it right. 🙂

However, how do I specify a link in the menu that is specific to the user? For example, how do I specify a link that directs the user to his/her forums, instead of all forums?

Right now I have this code in my functions.php child theme file:

COPY CODE

add_filter('header_profile_dropdown', 'my_profile_link');
function my_profile_link($links) {
	$links[] = '<li><a href="http://matchingglove.com/forums" rel="nofollow">Forums</a></li>';
	return $links;
}

As you can see, the code is for all forums. I want to place links in the Profile Menu Drop down that are specific to the user’s profile. Example of a link destination would be: http://www.matchingglove.com/members/user/groups/

How do I do that for all the links I place there?

Thanks for your help!!!

Hello, try with

COPY CODE

add_filter('header_profile_dropdown', 'my_profile_link');
function my_profile_link($links) {
	$links[] = '<li><a>user_login . '/groups/'; ?>">Groups</a></li>';
	return $links;
}

Hi @laura

Okay, I added your code, but I don’t see a way to add user profile specific links (i.e. My Forums, Notifications, My Orders, etc.)

How do I add links like that which are specific to the users account?

Thanks for the help!!! 🙂
