The wp_before_admin_bar_render action allows developers to modify the $wp_admin_bar object before it is used to render the Toolbar to the screen.
function my_tweaked_admin_bar() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
//Do stuff wp_before_admin_bar_render
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'my_tweaked_admin_bar' );
Please note that you must declare the $wp_admin_bar global object, as this hook is primarily intended to give you direct access to this object before it is rendered to the screen.
The following examples show some use cases for this action hook.
function my_tweaked_admin_bar() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
//Remove the WordPress logo...
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('wp-logo');
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'my_tweaked_admin_bar' );
function my_tweaked_admin_bar() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
//Add a link called 'My Link'...
$wp_admin_bar->add_node(array(
'id' => 'my-link',
'title' => 'My Link',
'href' => admin_url()
));
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'my_tweaked_admin_bar' );
Tip: For more information on the add_menu() args, see documentation for WP_Admin_Bar::add_node()
function my_tweaked_admin_bar() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
//Add a link called 'My Link'...
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
'id' => 'my-link',
'title' => 'My Link',
'href' => admin_url()
));
//THEN add a sub-link called 'Sublink 1'...
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
'id' => 'my-link-sub-1',
'title' => 'Sublink 1',
'href' => admin_url(),
'parent'=>'my-link'
));
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'my_tweaked_admin_bar' );
