Hi @mniggemann,
It isn’t possible with functions.php right now, but I’ll add a couple of actions to header.php in version 2.5.3 to make it easier to add output without copying over the entire file to a child theme. It should be live before the end of the day.
The actions chaplin_header_toggles_start and chaplin_header_toggles_end will probably be good candidates, if you’re looking to add elements next to the navigation toggle.
Happy to hear you like Chaplin!

Anders, that’s good news as well. I’ll see if I can manage to address the header via those actions tomorrow, or if I’d rather take the route of copying the header template.
Tack!

Sorry to return to this ticket, but whereas I succeeded in registering my custom meta menu à la …
function chaplin_custom_menu() {
register_nav_menu('chaplin-meta-menu',__( 'Meta Menü' ));
}
add_action( 'init', 'chaplin_custom_menu' );
… I have no clue how to adress wp_nav_menu in functions.php to move my chaplin-meta-menu to its correct location within chaplin_header_toggles_start
(Cool to see how quick 5.2.3 was pushed out, btw)
@mniggemann No worries! Try this:
function chaplin_child_chaplin_header_toggles_start() {
if ( has_nav_menu( 'chaplin-meta-menu' ) ) {
wp_nav_menu( array(
'container' => '',
'depth' => 1,
'items_wrap' => '%3$s',
'theme_location' => 'chaplin-meta-menu',
) );
}
}
add_action( 'chaplin_header_toggles_start', 'chaplin_child_chaplin_header_toggles_start' );
And yeah, it’s really nice that WordPress.org has a quick turnaround on pushing out updates.

Yay, there’s my menu.
Now can we make the whole WordPress ecosystem this cool?
Thanx!

So just for posterity’s sake or if anybody else wants to try this, I have since modified the code above like this, to add a ul and to make use of Chaplin’s styles for header menus.
(For more wp_nav_menu options, confer https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_nav_menu/)
// Menu registration ...
function chaplin_custom_menu() {
register_nav_menu('chaplin-meta-menu',__( 'Meta Menu' ));
}
add_action( 'init', 'chaplin_custom_menu' );
// Menu positioning ...
function chaplin_child_chaplin_header_toggles_start() {
if ( has_nav_menu( 'chaplin-meta-menu' ) ) {
wp_nav_menu( array(
'container' => 'div',
'container_class' => 'main-menu-alt-container',
'depth' => 1,
'items_wrap' => '<ul class="main-menu-alt dropdown-menu reset-list-style">%3$s</ul>',
'theme_location' => 'chaplin-meta-menu',
) );
}
}
add_action( 'chaplin_header_toggles_start', 'chaplin_child_chaplin_header_toggles_start' );
Choose different class names for the ul if you want to use your own styles anyway. If you do use the above, make sure to set the ul to display:block, as ist will be hidden by default otherwise.
e.g.:
.header-toggles { align-items: center; display: flex; justify-content: flex-end; }
.header-toggles .main-menu-alt-container { display: block; margin: 0 2rem 0 6rem; }
