Customising the Tasks menu item
By default the Tasks menu item it will show your tasks and a link to a “My tasks” page at the bottom. If that page does not exist then it won’t show that link. That is why we give you the option to recreate the generated Tasks menu on your own:
1. Add a new custom link named Tasks or what name you want and the URL: #
2. Edit that link and add this to the title attribute(it will generate the bubble with the tasks number): ##my_tasks##
3. Choose an icon. Default for the tasks is: tasks-line
4. Under “Extra Data to show under a menu item ” add: [todolist]
5. Add a new link as a submenu to the newly added Task menu item with the page that goes to your all tasks page.
