1. Hey there, I have a question for you in regards to adding a similar option to wp-admin bar.. I’m working on a plugin right now for a premium job theme, and I’m trying to add job count and resume count as one of the options on the menu. Now the method I have works, but it adds additional numbers between the and

   I really don’t know why it does this, do you think you can help me on this?..

   Here’s my method:

   function add_jobroller_jobs_bar_menu() { $opts = get_option( ‘add_jobroller_jobs_bar_menu’ ); global $wp_admin_bar;

   if ( !is_super_admin() || !is_admin_bar_showing() ) return;

   $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array( ‘id’ => ‘jobroller_job_links’,’title’ => __(‘Jobs Menu’, ‘jraba’),
   ‘href’ =>get_home_url( $blog->userblog_id, ‘/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=job_listing’ ),’meta’ => array( ‘class’ => ‘jobroller_job_menu’,’title’ => __( ‘Jobs Menu’, ‘jraba’ ) ) ) );

   // all other links.. and then the count being last..

   $number_pages = wp_count_posts(‘job_listing’); $number_jobs = $number_pages->publish; echo $number_jobs;
   $jraba_count_job_listings = ‘ ‘ . $number_jobs . ‘ Jobs’;

   $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
   ‘parent’ => ‘jobroller_job_links’,
   ‘id’ => ‘jobroller_job_count’,
   ‘title’ => $jraba_count_job_listings,
   ‘href’ => get_home_url( $blog->userblog_id, ‘/?s=&radius=1&location=’ ),
   ‘meta’ => array( ‘title’ => __( ‘Jobs Total’, ‘jraba’ ),’class’ => ‘jraba_count_job_listings’,’tabindex’ => -1, )
   ) );

   Your help would be greatly appreciated..

2. * adds additional numbers between the div id=”wpcontent” and div id=”wpadminbar” class=”” role=”navigation”

   I’ve added a screenshot here: http:// jobortunity.ca/2121.png

   The numbers are 2121 as in 2 Jobs and 1 Resume, but for some reason is doubles..
