    Hi,

    I want to remove 2 items from the current WP admin bar, and add a sub-menu item to the my profile menu. Here is my code, and it doesn’t work.

    function customize_admin_bar {
        global $wp_admin_bar;
        $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('wp-logo');
        $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('updates');
        $wp_admin_bar->add_menu(array(
                'parent' => 'my-account',
                'id' => 'support',
                'title' => __('Support Center'),
                'href' => "#")
        );
}
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'customize_admin_bar' ); // I tried to user 'wp_before_admin_bar_render' instead of 'admin_bar_menu'

    I’ve searched every where, but it doesn’t seem like WordPress has a codex page that provide the names of the menu items.

    Actually, I got it figured just now. The following seems to be the answer I need. Just in case anyone is having the same problem as I am, you need separate functions to remove and add menus, each using different action hook. 

    function remove_admin_bar_links() {
    global $wp_admin_bar;
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('wp-logo');
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('updates');
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'remove_admin_bar_links' );

function add_admin_bar_links() {
    global $wp_admin_bar;
    $wp_admin_bar->add_menu(array(
        'parent' => 'my-account-with-avatar',
        'id' => 'sup',
        'title' => __('Support Center'),
        'href' => "http://hosting.centilin.com/support/")
    );
}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'add_admin_bar_links');

    Hello Angela,

    Thank you for posting this code. I have been able to utilize it on my bbpress 2.1.1 site. I have been working on creating another version of your code to add a link in the admin drop-down bar to the bbpress favorites. I am stuck and have tried everything that I know. If you or anyone could give me some pointers I would greatly appreciate it. Below is the php code in the bbp-user-template.php file.

    I figured I could somehow merge the two codes to create the link. There is not a straite link because the favorites calls up the user id of the specific user.

    /** Favorites *****************************************************************/

/**
 * Output the link to the user's favorites page (profile page)
 *
 * @since bbPress (r2652)
 *
 * @param int $user_id Optional. User id
 * @uses bbp_get_favorites_permalink() To get the favorites permalink
 */
function bbp_favorites_permalink( $user_id = 0 ) {
	echo bbp_get_favorites_permalink( $user_id );
}
	/**
	 * Return the link to the user's favorites page (profile page)
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r2652)
	 *
	 * @param int $user_id Optional. User id
	 * @uses bbp_get_user_profile_url() To get the user profile url
	 * @uses apply_filters() Calls 'bbp_get_favorites_permalink' with the
	 *                        user profile url and user id
	 * @return string Permanent link to user profile page
	 */
	function bbp_get_favorites_permalink( $user_id = 0 ) {
		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_favorites_permalink', bbp_get_user_profile_url( $user_id ), $user_id );
	}

    Thank you,
