Twenty Eleven Header Clickable Image Link Customization Help Needed

Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

Create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

the link is in header.php –

however, it is not advised to edit twenty eleven directly, but rather create a child theme https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes and make the edits there.

copy header.php into the child theme, edit it and find:

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">

possibly change to:

<a href="https://linkurl">

Thanks, that change worked perfectly!

But I already made multiple edits to the Twenty Eleven Theme (just the header.php) for my site…should I start over with a fresh unedited copy and make the edits within the Child Theme?

Or is it OK if I make no further edits?

Thanks again!

you really should install a fresh twentyeleven, and make your edits in a child theme, while your edits are still fresh in your mind

Reason being: twentyeleven is the core WP theme, a clean copy is always needed for troubleshooting WP + whenever WP is updated, if any changes are made to twentyeleven to fix/update it, there is a good chance one of the files you edited will be replaced, and your changes will be lost

should I start over with a fresh unedited copy and make the edits within the Child Theme?

Yes.

Thanks

Hi!
What should I do if I want the header on every different page to link to the current page instead of the startpage? ??

Here is the site: https://www.zilloman.com

I want for exampel the header on https://zilloman.com/byra link to https://zilloman.com/byra instead of the startpage.

Thx!:)

You would need to start by creating a child theme for your changes. Then edit a custom copy of the parent’s header.php template file within the child theme.

I have a child theme already with a copy of the header.php in it.
What should I change in the header.php to get what i want? ??

Try changing:

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">

to

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>">

Thank you for your answer looks like it’s working.
But not exactly like I want to.

I also want the header to link to for exampel https://www.zilloman.com/byra if you ar in any of the subpages to Byr?.

So if you are on https://www.zilloman.com/byra/vad-vi-gor/ and then clicking on the header it will be linked to https://www.zilloman.com/byra

Any suggestions?

So if the Page is a child, you want it to link to the parent Page? What if it’s a Post or a Category?

Yes exactly, if the page is a child I want the header to be linked to the parent Page. I don’t have any posts or categorys on any of the subpages?

But do you have Posts on your site? They have to be taken into account within the code.

Yes I have.
Is it possible to link the header like that?
What should I do? ??
