As with many things, WordPress makes it easy to customize the Toolbar, using the add_node() functions. In this recipe, I’m going to show you how to add a shortcut to WordPress toolbar.
Paste the code below into your functions.php file.
// add a link to the WP Toolbar function custom_toolbar_link($wp_admin_bar) { $args = array( 'id' => 'gmail', 'title' => 'Gmail', 'href' => 'https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox', 'meta' => array( 'class' => 'gmail', 'title' => 'sales@digwp.com' ) ); $wp_admin_bar->add_node($args); } add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'custom_toolbar_link', 999);
Once done, edit the following, then save the file. You’re done!
‘id’ => ‘gmail’ — the ID of the
‘title’ => ‘Gmail’ — the anchor-text for the custom link
‘href’ => ‘https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox’ — the URL for the custom link
‘class’ => ‘gmail’ — the class attribute for the custom link
‘title’ => ‘sales@test.com’ — the title attribute for the custom link
Thanks to Jeff Starr for the cool tip!
