Add category in Top Menu?

[Cate_Soule]

Hi, it’s possible to add a specific category or custom link to the Top Menu of my Discourse site?

You’d need a theme component, I think. And I think that Custom Components -- add button or text at any plugin outlet would do it

Thanks! Is it possible to position it within this part?: (Beside the “Categories” on the left)

With the Discourse developer toolbar it looks like there’s no plugin outlet between the drop-down items, if that’s what you mean:

Jay’s component should be able to insert at any green plug location, including before the categories dropdown.

Custom Top Navigation Links - Theme component might also be worth a look. At a glance, it seems to use the extra-nav-item outlet to append after existing menu items.
