hey there,
so i’m aware that if “Page Sidebar Navigation” is on in theme options then this is automatically generated.
i have one particular clients whose site has become enormous and is frequently asking me to hide some of the links in the sidebar.
i’ve been doing this using css, not the most elegant solution – but it works.
however, (i think i already know the answer to this question, but need to ask regardless) said client now wants to manually add in a link to this menu in the sidebar.
this isn’t simple – is it.
any advice?
thanks,
JasonHey!
Thank you for the inquiry.
You can use the avf_sidebar_menu_filter filter to adjust the output of the page sidebar navigation. The following example shows how to append a custom menu item at the very end of the list:
function append_custom_menu_item($sidebar_menu, $args, $post) { $custom_menu_item = '<li class="page_item"><a href="your-custom-url">Your Custom Menu Item</a></li>'; $sidebar_menu = str_replace('</ul>', $custom_menu_item . '</ul>', $sidebar_menu); return $sidebar_menu; } add_filter('avf_sidebar_menu_filter', 'append_custom_menu_item', 10, 3);Cheers!

Best regards,
Rikardjust one last question related to this, is it possible to add this to just a specific parent, e.g. all sub pages of /africa (for example)
actually, i think i have the solution
function append_custom_menu_item($sidebar_menu, $args, $post) { // Check if the current page is either '/africa' or a subpage of '/africa' $is_africa_page = ($post->post_name === 'africa'); $is_africa_subpage = ($post->post_parent && get_post($post->post_parent)->post_name === 'africa'); if ($is_africa_page || $is_africa_subpage) { $custom_menu_item = '<li class="page_item"><a href="your-custom-url">Your Custom Menu Item</a></li>'; $sidebar_menu = str_replace('</ul>', $custom_menu_item . '</ul>', $sidebar_menu); } return $sidebar_menu; } add_filter('avf_sidebar_menu_filter', 'append_custom_menu_item', 10, 3);
