Add filter to bloginfo wordpress?

• I am a bit new to this so I hope this makes sense. I am trying to add an additional entry to general settings (admin page) that will populate the text on the homepage, similar to how the site title and tagline works. Currently these are the edits I have done. header.php: <div class="intl"><?php bloginfo('blognumber'); ?></div> options_general.php: <tr valign="top"> <th scope="row"><label for="blognumber"><?php _e('International Number') ?></label></th> <td><input name="blognumber" type="text" id="blognumber" value="<?php form_option('blognumber'); ?>" class="regular-text" /> <span class="description"><?php _e('International Contact Number') ?></span></td> general-template.php: <!-- (included a new case entry) --> function get_bloginfo( $show = '', $filter = 'raw' ) { switch( $show ) { case 'home' : // DEPRECATED case 'siteurl' : // DEPRECATED _deprecated_argument( __FUNCTION__, '2.2', sprintf( __('The <code>%s</code> option is deprecated for the family of <code>bloginfo()</code> functions.' ), $show ) . ' ' . sprintf( __( 'Use the <code>%s</code> option instead.' ), 'url' ) ); case 'url' : $output = home_url(); break; case 'wpurl' : $output = site_url(); break; case 'description': $output = get_option('blogdescription'); break; case 'number': $output = get_option('blognumber'); break; MySQL database entry: Added a new entry to to the wp_options table, entry name "blognumber" Everything appears to look right but when I go to save new text to the new field in the admin panel it just disappears. When I check MySQL the data does not save there either. Also instead of loading blank content it loads the filter <?php bloginfo "name" ?> instead (which I believe is the default). Can someone help me? I'm sure I'm just missing a simple line or there is an additional page I need to edit for this to work. Thanks

• Answer:

  If you are editing a Wordpress function definition you can safely assume you are going about this the wrong way. You can add your own options via a theme or plugin functions file in a way that doesn't mess with the WP core - ensuring future updates don't conflict.
