My first try is to want to add the link no the Nav menu so that it can show in the navigation but that didn't work.

etoluw:
go to the "front-page.php" file you'll find where to put it.

if your theme does not have "front-page.php" put it in the "home.php" file

Karleb:
Maybe if you look inside header.php, there might be functions you can hook into that'll display the content right where you want it.

Long time Bros.

Karleb:


I guess what he wants is automatic inclusion of the content in the header.

As in, immediately he activates the plugin, the content will be added automatically to any theme in use.

etoluw:


It is easy to add custom link to Nav menu

cbrass:

you know iit is supposed to be a plugin that will be installed by a user who doen's know what to do, so if you ask them to go mess with the code it may be tedious for them.

How are you doing bro

Karleb:


I'm fine.

What I mean is, there should be an action hook you can hook into inside the header.php.

Presently you're grabbing and hooking into the whole header.php, but inside this file there should be an action/filter hook you can hook to display your content exactly where you want it since there are a lot of hooks in wordpress.

hmmm..you have a point

cbrass:
programmatically ?

etoluw:


I think it is possible

let me do the research and get back to you

cbrass:

Okay. Thanks bro
The idea is the plugin when installed will automictically show a link at the menu

etoluw:


follow the advice below and let's see if it will solve the problem.

Hello, i am trying to create a wordpress plugin that will automatically create a link on the homepage.
My first try is to want to add the link no the Nav menu so that it can show in the navigation but that didn't work.

I also tried to show it at the header using WP_head() but it just creates the link far above the website logo and menu. (Please see fig1)

I really need help to know where i can access on the home page to create this arbitrary link, or is it even possible?

cbrass:


i have actually tried something similar before but my menu wasn't showing again. but this link you sent seems different.
I will let you know if it works.
I am grateful brother. May the good Lord bless you

Na oversabi won kill me, that was why it didn't work
Thank you ones again

stanliwise:

Are you willing to pay for the plugin?
