  3. Hi!
    I modified this to add text to my primary nav bar, and I keep getting an error message. Can you tell me where I went wrong?

    //* Add tagline to right Genesis primary nav
    add_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu_items’, ‘tagline’, 10, 2 );
    function add_tagline_nav_menu( $menu, stdClass $args ){
    if ( ‘primary’ != $args->theme_location )
    return $menu;
    if( genesis_get_option( ‘nav_extras’ ) )
    return $menu;
    $menu .= sprintf( ‘%s’, __( ‘run mad as often as you choose’ ) );
    return $menu;
    }

    But I keep seeing “Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘tagline’ not found or invalid function name in /home/donotfai/newdesign/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 199”

    I tried deactivating all plugins, but that didn’t fix it. Thanks in advance! This was a really helpful place to start!

    • Where did you get the code Anne-Marie?

      When you copy and paste code into a webpage you need to use a Gist or wrap it in short-codes otherwise the single quotes turn around causing errors.

      You can use any of the code snippets in this post and simply replace the phone number with text.

      add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_phone_number_second_nav_menu', 10, 2 );

function add_phone_number_second_nav_menu( $menu, stdClass $args ){
        
       
        if ( 'secondary' != $args->theme_location )
        	return $menu;
        
               if( genesis_get_option( 'nav_extras' ) )
                return $menu;
        
        $menu .= sprintf( '<li class="right ph-num">%s</li>', __( 'run mad as often as you choose' ) );
        
        
        return $menu;
        
}

      • Oh, I know it looks awful in the comment–I copied what you had here and edited it in Notepad, then uploaded FTP. I changed add_phone_number to add_tagline and ph-num to tagline. Then I replaced your number with my text. Got the error message.

        • No need to change the filter or function name Anne-Marie.

          Simply change the phone number to your text and paste it at the end of your child themes functions file using a text editor and it will work as i have tested all the code.

          • hahaha. Understand. It’s a challenge writing code which is why i try and make it as easy as possible for people.

            The great thing about PHP code is that either works or it doesn’t, unlike CSS code.

          • It worked! Oh, that’s so much work you saved me trying to figure that out on my own!

            PHP code is a more difficult language, but yes, at least it’s either working or broken. CSS just ignores whatever I get wrong, and sends me searching through all 4 million lines of child theme code. 😛

            Thank you a million times.
