In the Wordpress Menus Custom Links, I want to create a page called "My Page", and when the Current User clicks this Custom Link, it takes him to his specific page.

E.g mydomain.com/%CURRENT USERNAME% / mydomain.com/johnsmith

Reading other posts, it appears that the Wordpress Custom Link understands only a static URL, not a dynamic one.

Therefore I need some way for the system to "get" the current user info, and redirect accordingly.

I have viewed the replies at this previous thread and here but I am still lost. My coding ability is even less than the first guy's (but I do try!), so I can understand the theory, but I don't understand the technical language.

Therefore, I understand "You need to place this code, in your Theme Functions/in the script of the page". But I don't understand "You need to run a jQuery with this code"

  1. What information can I enter in the Custom Link to achieve this?
  2. What code do I need to enter in the back-end to read this information correctly?

Thank you very much.

  • It might be easier to add a manualy coded link into your menu before or after the wordpress generated menu. Usually a "my acccount" kind of link sits outside of the main nav anyways. Could this work for you? Or does it have to sit within a main menu? Because the correct way to do such a link properly requires delving into "walkers" and they are not a lot of fun.

  • Thanks for the reply, @SimonPollard Ideally, this would sit within a main menu, so that user can view page X, page Y, and then easily click back to "My Page". But I prefer doing things the correct way, I just don't know enough in order to know that there is another way. So manually coded would be fine for me, but I would just need real baby step instructions about exactly where to place the code. (For example, I don't know what a "walker" is, but I'm happy to learn). Thanks Commented Apr 30, 2016 at 5:36
