Thank you so much for this.
Please I would like to add custom page links and additional items into the dashboard page like the below image. Please how can I do this? I really appreciate your help in advance. Thank you so much.
@effizo Replace the content on this line with your custom dashboard markup: https://gist.github.com/wpscholar/4744033#file-replace-wp-dashboard-php-L61
Thank you so much sir for your prompt response. I really appreciate your time and support. Thanks so much.
@effizo No, I have not.
Hi wpscholar,
Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic code snippet. I have tried with WordPress version 6.3 and having an issue with the function deprecated error message due to calling the remove_menu_page();
remove_menu_page();
Error: Deprecated: strip_tags(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\wpfresher.com\wp-admin\admin-header.php on line 36
Now, I have created a similar class with a new logic. And it has no single issue/error and has been tested with the latest WordPress version [6.3]
Here is my public Gist URL: https://gist.github.com/wpfresher/8d3680d4d9d6d86f22f7f6cb1662ab1a
Thanks a lot!
Hey @wpscholar
Check this file -> https://gist.github.com/kevindees/9e32e9e4dc036a3107466c5faf50416a/revisions#diff-959d55dbd40dafbebdb263bc9ca1e6b4
I added a fix for the update submenu link; it was not being set to
current. My patch fixes the issue.
