WebGUI Header Link Fix

Makes the Unraid logo in the Unraid WebGUI header open the WebGUI start page.

Latest GitHub release Unraid requirement: 7.1+ License: GPL-3.0

In the Unraid WebGUI, the logo in the header opens unraid.net in a new tab. This plugin changes it to open the WebGUI start page in the same tab, the page selected in Settings → Management Access → Start Page.

The plugin has no settings, runs no background service and makes no network requests. It adds a small script to the WebGUI page that changes only the logo link. On phones with the 7.1 to 7.3 header, it also adds a style rule that keeps the server name box from covering the logo, so the logo can be tapped, and from being wider than the screen.

This project continues the original plugin by Derek Kaser, which reached end of support in October 2026. It is maintained by EllipticSet and is not an official Unraid project.

Compatibility

Only links that point exactly to the unraid.net home page are changed. Other unraid.net links in the header, such as documentation or account links, keep working as before.

Installation

The plugin is available in Community Applications. In Unraid, open Apps, search for WebGUI Header Link Fix and select Install. The Apps tab requires the Community Applications plugin.

Direct installation

Alternatively, open Plugins → Install Plugin and paste:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EllipticSet/unraid-header-fix/main/plugin/header-fix.plg

The plugin file contains the package, so installation and updates do not download anything else.

Moving from the original plugin

The plugin keeps the original name (header-fix) and version scheme, so it replaces the original plugin directly. The original listing has been removed from Community Applications. Once the original plugin redirects its updates here, existing installations update from Plugins without reinstalling. Until then, install this plugin with the direct installation URL above: it updates the original plugin in place, with no need to remove it first.

Removal

Remove the plugin from Plugins. The logo link returns to unraid.net after the page is reloaded.

Versioning

Versions use the date and time of the release, YYYY.MM.DD.HHMM, as in the original plugin. This keeps every release newer than the original plugin's last version. The changelog is shown in Plugins and in build/plugin-changes.md.

Support

Report problems in Issues. Include the plugin and Unraid versions and the browser you use. Report vulnerabilities as described in SECURITY.md.

Development

The plugin is built by build/package.py, which uses only the Python standard library. It packages src/ into a reproducible Slackware package and embeds it in plugin/header-fix.plg. See CONTRIBUTING.md for checks and the release process, and docs/community-apps.md for the Community Applications listing.
