Hi,

Is used the code snippet from the codex and it worked fine.

How could I modify the code to choose a specific menu?

E.g. primary oder secondary. Actually “Edit Profil” is shown in all my menues and I just want to have it on my Primary Menu.

// Filter wp_nav_menu() to add profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );
function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_login ;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">Edit Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
 
}

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

Thanks!

you would need to do something like this.

Since it is hard to guess what your menu’s theme location is , i just put primary.

This does work in some default themes like Twentyfourteen though.

add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','rk_bbp_menu_profile_link', 10, 2);
function rk_bbp_menu_profile_link( $items, $args ) {
    if( is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'primary')  {
		
	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user = $current_user->user_login ;
	$profilelink = '<a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">Edit Profile</a>';
        $items .=  '<li>' . $profilelink .  '</li>';

	}
    return $items;
}

@Robkk awesome, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!!!

Is there an option to set the position order of the menu item?
Now its positioned after the normal menu items added at the theme design/menues.

[@robkk Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

yeah that sounds about right that it should do that, and you probably could position it but i haven’t tried messing with that yet.

where do you want the link exactly??

Hi!

To anyone in need of a login menu item with both user avatar and Link to the Bbpress dashboard in 2022, here’s my version of @robkk ‘s code :

add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','rk_bbp_menu_profile_link', 10, 2);
function rk_bbp_menu_profile_link( $items, $args ) {
    if( is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'menu-1')  {
	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();   
	    $user = $current_user->user_login ;
    $avatar = get_avatar( $current_user->ID, 64 );
	$items .= '<li  class="NavBarLogin"><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">' . $avatar .  'Mon compte</a></li>';
}
return $items;
}
