I Need Help With Wordpress Plugin by cbrass(m): 6:51pm On Dec 29, 2020
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?

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.

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

It is easy to add custom link to Nav menu

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.

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

I'm fine. cool

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.

glad to hear that
but I think that link would appear on all the menus registered in the theme.

maybe you should create a settings page where the user can select the particular menu he wants the link to be added to
