Snippets by IsItWP

Are you looking for a way to customize the WordPress admin quick navigation menu including welcome message and links? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to add custom links in WordPress 3.0+ admin quick navigation.

Instructions:

All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:

add_filter( 'admin_user_info_links', 'filter_user_admin_menu' );
function filter_user_admin_menu()
{
	global $current_user;
	get_currentuserinfo();
	$links = array();
	$links[5] = sprintf( __('Sup!, %1$s'), $current_user->display_name );
	$links[6] = '<a href="users.php" title="Manage Users">Manage Users</a>';
	if ( current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) $links[10] = '<a href="' . admin_url() . 'edit.php" title="">Manage Posts</a>';
	$links[14] = '<a href="profile.php" title="' . esc_attr__('Edit your profile') . '">' . __('Your Profile') . '</a>';
	$links[15] = '<a href="' . wp_logout_url() . '" title="' . esc_attr__('Log Out') . '">' . __('Log Out') . '</a>';
	return $links;
}
