Hi @rick0316,
You may use JavaScript to add new element to contact area without doing any modification to the theme’s files.
Add this snippet to your child theme’s function or use a plugin that allows you to add a new function like code snippet:
function my_custom_script_to_footer() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
var headerContact = $('.header-elements .header-contact');
var newLine = '<div class="my-new-element">'+
'<span><a href="#">New element goes here</a></span>'+
'</div>';
if ( headerContact.length ) {
headerContact.append(newLine);
}
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'my_custom_script_to_footer');
Hope this reply helps.
