I’m using the Custom Header Links component and I’m getting this strange behavior: In my prod instance, clicking a header link reloads Discourse entirely to the target page. In my dev instance (without docker), clicking a header link transitions smoothly to the target page without reloading Discourse. I noticed that: In my prod instance, tags have a data-auto-route="true" attribute. In my dev instance, tags don’t have this attribute. It seems the same kind of problem happened in the past (see here), before the official header components were released.

Reverting the change from @j.jaffeux breaks internal links in a different way. I wouldn’t use a forked plugin - it just means when this gets fixed for real you won’t receive the changes automatically. The commit in question: https://github.com/discourse/discourse-custom-header-links/commit/bfda9d3b50bd8e027024b62aa0b7e68611248073

This is fixed in the official component, internal links will no longer cause a full page reload. Thanks for reporting the issue @jack2 :+1:

I created a fork to fix this issue: GitHub - sylque/discourse-custom-header-links2: Same as the official discourse-custom-header-links, but with links moved to the hamburger menu instead of being hidden · GitHub.
