Update Header

Perhaps I am missing something, but how to I add a new "category" to the default list in Chevereto

How do I add something else, such as "blog"
 
You say "Category" ?? but if you just need an extra menu item after random then.....

Create a copy of the theme, and then edit header.php and put it in:

app ==> themes ==> yourtheme ==> overrides

Find:

Code:
            <?php if(CHV\getSetting('website_random')) { ?>
            <li id="top-bar-random"  data-nav="random" class="top-btn-el phone-hide">
                <a href="<?php echo G\get_base_url("?random"); ?>"><span class="top-btn-text"><span class="icon icon-shuffle"></span><span class="btn-text phone-hide phablet-hide"><?php _se('Random'); ?></span></span></a>
            </li>
            <?php } ?>

Add after:

Code:
            <?php { ?>
            <li class="top-btn-el">
                <a href="http://www.myblog.com"><span class="top-btn-text"><span class="icon icon-home"></span><span class="btn-text phone-hide phablet-hide"><?php _se('Blog'); ?></span></span></a>
            </li>
            <?php } ?>


Think that should work.

You might need to change the icon to something you like. In that code it's "icon-home", not sure if there is a icon-blog you'd need to check. You'll also need to amend the url for your blog site.

You also might need to make your logo smaller as it could "crash" into the extra button ;)
 
@Oakley Thanks - I will test this later today. I didnt really mean category, I meant an extra menu item just like you described.

I appreciate you sharing the code snippet.
 
Hello,

I am trying to add a new menu item and was a little confused about what you wrote above. Sorry coding rookie here.

So I create a copy of header.php and paste in overrides? Then insert the code you wrote above with the link to my blog?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
 
@Oakley could you please be a little more specific as to how to add a link on the top button to a blog I would like to include.

Thanks!
