deactivating subscribe dropdown

[nathanscamera]

How would make the subscribe dropdown menu in header menu that works with mailchimp, just a link. So instead of the dropdown, it would just link to a page on click. Thank you for your time.

Open up sf-header.php and find line 554:

$aux_links_output .= '<li class="parent"><a href="#">'. __("Subscribe", "swiftframework") .'</a>'. "\n";

And replace with:

$aux_links_output .= '<li class="parent"><a href="#">Subscribe</a>'. "\n";

If you need to remove the arrow please provide me with your link and I will provide you with some custom css

No problem 🙂

Hi Kyle, where do I change exactly the same thing now since the last update?

Thanks

Hi,

There is a new filter that can be used without changing the theme files.

Add the code below to your functions.php of the child theme.

function sf_custom_subscribe_text(){
   return __("My custom Subscribe text", "swiftframework");
}
add_filter('sf_subscribe_text', 'sf_custom_subscribe_text');

Let me know if it worked.

ok that will change the text, but what about the link to a custom URL? and how can I remove the little arrow next to the link on the right as well?

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

For that it will be necessary to replace line 616 in the sf-header.php
$aux_links_output .= '<li class="parent"><a href="#">'. $sub_text .'</a>'. "\n";

Thanks Rui, I thought so but that is not working for me, I changed the # to /subscribe/, but it won’t change on the front end – any ideas?

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

Just to confirm. Are you using the latest version of Dante that was launched yesterday?
Did you made the modifications in the theme file or in the child theme?

If you had a previous modified file in the child theme, you will need to copy changes across.

[Matthias]

yes confirmed. latest version and child theme and I copied changes across. I just need the subscription link to point to a url. everything else works just fine

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

so you can see the change you made in the subscription text but not the link? strange.
Just realised that you should just copy the modified function to the functions.php of the child theme.

In this case copy the entire function till the end.

    if ( ! function_exists( 'sf_aux_links' ) ) {
        function sf_aux_links( $position, $alt_version = false, $header_version = "" ) {
