How can I add a new item to the user dropdown menu? Can I personalize and add a new item there? [Screenshot 2025-11-26 at 18.46.50]

Yes, sorry, I made a mistake when I copied the code. By default, you see this in the JS tab. import { apiInitializer } from "discourse/lib/api"; export default apiInitializer((api) => { // Your code here }); And then, you put this where the placeholder is. api.addQuickAccessProfileItem({ icon: "pencil", href: "/somewhere", content: "Title" }) So, the result should look like this: import { apiInitializer } from "discourse/lib/api"; export default apiInitializer((api) => { api.addQuickAccessProfileItem({ icon: "pencil", href: "/somewhere", content: "Title" }) }); Above, I had accidentally copied one of the default lines.

Welcome to Meta :waving_hand: You can use the plugin-API to add a new link to that menu. You can, for example, do that directly in the admin interface by creating a new theme component and adding something like this to the JS tab: api.addQuickAccessProfileItem({ icon: "pencil", href: "/somewhere", content: "Title" }) [image] [image]
