External link in nav bar

  • Hi,

    I have trouble linking to a forum on my website that’s not part of WordPress. Before, I used to use the redirectify plugin but it doesn’t seem to work anymore (probably because it’s no longer compatible with the new version of WordPress). I’ve tried everything, even creating a page and then trying to change it’s link in the database, however, even that doesn’t seem to work!

    Thanks, help most appreciated!
    Ian

    Hi, I’m not sure I understood you correctly? you mean all the stuff inside header.php of my current theme (I’m using K2)?

    Thanks,
    Ian

    Hi, yes copy all the code in the header and post it here… and I will show you how to add a link in there.

    Hi, Here’s the code:

    <?php
	// Prevent users from directly loading this theme file
	defined( 'K2_CURRENT' ) or die ( 'Error: This file can not be loaded directly.' );

	// Load localizatons
	load_theme_textdomain('k2_domain');

	// Load our scripts
	wp_enqueue_script('k2functions');

	if (get_option('k2rollingarchives') == 1) {
		wp_enqueue_script('k2rollingarchives');
	}

	if (get_option('k2livesearch') == 1) {
		wp_enqueue_script('k2livesearch');
	}

	if ((get_option('k2livecommenting') == 1) and ((is_page() or is_single()) and (!isset($_GET['jal_edit_comments'])) and ('open' == $post-> comment_status) or ('comment' == $post-> comment_type) )) {
		wp_enqueue_script('k2comments');
	}
?>

    Try to do this:

    Under this:

    <h1 class="blog-title"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/" accesskey="1"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

    add:

    <h1><a href="https://www.yoursiteurl.com" accesskey="1"></a></h1>

    Nope,

    Nothing. However I’ve noticed something. I’m using Firebug and for some reason h1 is greyed out (ie: not showing on the page) I wonder why?

    Thanks again for your support,
    Ian

    Oh wait just remembered:

    I had set (in the K2 options) to not show the blog title and description. That’s <h1>. So that’s why it’s not showing, however on Firebug I’ve noticed that every menu item is placed in <ul class="menu">

    Hope that helps,
    Thanks
