How to easily add shortcuts to WordPress toolbar

Paste the code below into your functions.php file.

// add a link to the WP Toolbar
function custom_toolbar_link($wp_admin_bar) {
	$args = array(
		'id' => 'gmail',
		'title' => 'Gmail', 
		'href' => 'https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox', 
		'meta' => array(
			'class' => 'gmail', 
			'title' => '[email protected]'
			)
	);
	$wp_admin_bar->add_node($args);
}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'custom_toolbar_link', 999);

Once done, edit the following, then save the file. You’re done!
‘id’ => ‘gmail’ — the ID of the

  • element containing the custom link
    ‘title’ => ‘Gmail’ — the anchor-text for the custom link
    ‘href’ => ‘https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox’ — the URL for the custom link
    ‘class’ => ‘gmail’ — the class attribute for the custom link
    ‘title’ => ‘[email protected]’ — the title attribute for the custom link
