Add a tab/link in the Profile Menu

UPDATE

HI, I somehow got it working.. Following one of your posts in your forum thread, I got it. I have added one more tab in the profile menu ‘My Custom Menu Tab‘ using the following function

add_filter('um_profile_tabs', 'add_custom_profile_tab', 1000 );
function add_custom_profile_tab( $tabs ) {

$tabs['mycustomtab'] = array(
'name' => 'My Custom Menu Tab',
'icon' => 'um-faicon-comments',
);
return $tabs;
}

But I am stuck with an issues. I have added one action so that I can output one short-code function inside the tab

add_action('um_profile_tabs', 'show_custom_tab');
    function show_custom_tab   ($args ) {
      echo do_shortcode('[one_shortcode_here]');
    }

Now when I add the above action, the shortcode is visible and so also the tab but it knocks out the default About tab. Even inside the settings area (settings>Appearance?profile menu) I do not see the About tab anywhere.

Can you please guide me where I am getting it wrong or how to execute this. If at all, the shorcode cannot be executed, the a plain anchor-link to another page will do.

PS: I added those functions in the um-short-functions.php file

Hi!

Can you please try all hooks/integrations codes outside UM core files? The purpose of hooks is that you can extend the plugin without editing core files, please add it to theme’s functions.php for example.

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I got nowhere. I added these in my theme functions.php file no output is showing. However, the tab is being added but out put is not. Any help will be highly appreciated. I know I am making a mistake somewhere but my brain seems to die now. Any hope on this??

UPDATE

I got it working.. so simple it was. I was damn stupid. Thanks..

Got the solution here.. https://gist.github.com/ultimatemember/8cdaf61e7bd9de35512c

Thanks for your time. .Awesome plugin by the way.

Thank you so much, glad it is working! ??

Hi,

I’ve been trying to get this to work too- and thankfully came across this post.

However, I’m having difficulty trying to add more than one tab.

For each additional, it seems to overwrite the last.

Do you have any suggestions?

Cheers,

You have to change the tab ID for new tabs. ??

e.g. $tabs[‘custom1’] and $tabs[‘custom2’] etc. The functions also have to unique and do not duplicate any function

Ah thank you!

That’s brilliant ??

You are welcome!

Hello all,

I have tried the above – I placed the source code from: https://gist.github.com/ultimatemember/8cdaf61e7bd9de35512c in my functions.php file and get the white screen of death ??

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Henry

Apologies,

I forgot to add I get the following error message when DEBUG turned on:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_filter() in /home/XXXX/public_html/plantswap.com.au/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4815

Is it working now?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Unfortunately no.

I placed the part of the code that is labelled:”function” in my functions.php file and it compiles ok without errors.

As soon as I had the “add_filter” and “add_action” hooks in the functions.php file, it fails with the white screen of death.

As a matter of fact, my functions.php file has no other add_action or add_filter hook calls inside it.

Should these hook calls be placed in some other file perhaps?

Cheers,
Henry

Please turn debug mode on and print the errors you get here. ??

Thanks!

Hello there support,

I posted the error up above:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_filter() in /home/XXXX/public_html/plantswap.com.au/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4815

I am not sure if it is allowed to post an add_action or add_filter hook call in a functions.php file?

Kind regards,
Henry
