Hi guys. As a novice I must assume I’m missing something. I in Customize → Themes add included components : custom header link Then in Components → Custom Header Links I add Include component on … : Default None of pre-set nor my own links appear in the header, when a user is not logged in header only has log in sign up & search icon, on the right. What is it that I’m missing?

Make sure you are actually using the default theme as your theme. [IMG_0309] You can also preview it or the component by using the preview button at bottom to check the settings. This makes it easier to set up components and themes before rolling them out to forum users. Also double check to make sure you are setting up the header links properly in the component. Check the default ones to see how they are setup. [IMG_0310]

I’ve just given it a try out on my test site, and mine isn’t showing up either. It’s in the inspector, but greyed out for some reason? [image]

I do have those, yes. Themes → Default → Theme is enabled by default Setup is virtually plain-vanilla, it’s a test-lab. It appears as if CHL had no effect on my setup, preview or non-logged user, no header at all. non-logged-in user → sign up & login only, logged-in user only only three icons: chat, search, user. version is 3.0.6

[image] JammyDodger: It’s in the inspector, but greyed out for some reason? I too see it, get it that way.

After a bit of fiddling, I think it’s the example links which are out of date. I think there’s recently been a change to how a plain / is handled. which are causing an issue. Getting rid of all the example ones and adding something like: A link, a link, https://meta.discourse.org, vdm, blank does work: [image]

field description also shows a new Language locale setting (see my second screenshot above) :thinking: FWIW I just downloaded and installed the component without changing anything, including default links, and it worked :woman_shrugging:t2:

[image] Lillian : field description also shows a new Language locale setting (see my first screenshot above) :thinking: I think you’ve found the winner. :trophy: :slight_smile: When I remove the locale from the example ones they show up. :+1: It must be because I’m not on en. That is a little confusing. :slight_smile:

yea I’m on en so that would make sense now. @lejeczek if you remove the en|language setting at the end of the field strings, it should work.

Cannot get the Custom Header Links to display?

You should upgrade to 3.10 or 3.2.0 beta1-dev

I strongly suggest you upgrade your Discourse because there have been significant changes in core since that version, some that affected theme components.
