How to add Home link to wp_nav_menu() in Wordpress ?

If you want add “Home” link to your wordpress wp_nav_menu() function then you have to add following code inside your themes function.php file.

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_home_link', 10, 2 );

function add_home_link($items, $args) {

  

        if (is_front_page())

            $class = 'class="current_page_item"';

        else

            $class = '';

  

        $homeMenuItem =

                '<li ' . $class . '>' .

                $args->before .

                '<a href="' . home_url( '/' ) . '" title="Home">' .

                $args->link_before . 'Home' . $args->link_after .

                '</a>' .

                $args->after .

                '</li>';

  

        $items = $homeMenuItem . $items;

  

    return $items;

}

Then call the navigation menu in header.php like this:

<?php
if(function_exists('wp_nav_menu')):
wp_nav_menu(
array(
'menu' =>'primary_nav',
'container'=>'',
'depth' => 1,
'menu_id' => 'menu' )
);
else:
?>
<ul id="menu">
<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="Home">Home</
a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
</ul>
<?php
endif;
?>
