The easiest way is create 2 custom capabilities and assign both to administrators, one to role coach and one to role player. When you create your roles you do something like this: $coach_caps = array( ‘read’ => true, ‘something_else’ => true, ‘can_open_coach_menu’ => TRUE // this is important for your scope ); add_role( ‘coach’, ‘Coach’, … Read more
Hook into admin_head, the last action before the menu is rendered, and change the global $menu: add_action( ‘admin_head’, ‘wpse_71303_change_menu_cap’ ); /** * Change the capability to access an admin menu item. * * @wp-hook admin_head * @return void */ function wpse_71303_change_menu_cap() { global $menu; foreach ( $menu as $key => $item ) { // Find … Read more
Ok, so I got annoyed with it not working and decided to just rewrite it. I’m not sure what the solution was, but I suspect two things: the wrong endpoint for the form (should be options.php) and the wrong $option_group and $option_name (they were probably not matched correctly). For posterity, I’ll leave my rewrite here … Read more
I was able to track this down to the culprit function add_theme_page(). There There was an additional parameter, per the codex for add_theme_page() that needed to be removed. Removing that seemed to help. function fivehundred_register_admin_menu() { add_theme_page( ‘500 Settings’, ‘500 Settings’, ‘manage_options’, ‘theme-settings’, ‘fivehundred_admin_menu’, plugins_url( ‘/ignitiondeck/images/ignitiondeck-menu.png’ ) ); } add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘fivehundred_register_admin_menu’ ); Fixed code … Read more
Capability parameter of add_submenu_page() function can only take a single capability, so if you are using the built in roles you can select a capability fro the long list that both administrators and editors have any of these (use any of these freely): moderate_comments manage_categories manage_links unfiltered_html edit_others_posts edit_pages edit_others_pages edit_published_pages publish_pages delete_pages delete_others_pages delete_published_pages … Read more
The WordPress functions changed since the answers here in 2014. As of today (Version 4.6.1) this code will create a main menu named “My Menu” , main item and sub item. To run code just paste and saves in your functions.php file in your child theme. $menu_id = wp_create_nav_menu(‘My Menu’); $parent_item = wp_update_nav_menu_item($menu_id, 0, array( … Read more
If you connect your functions with proper hooks your submenu page will be displayed after your post type and taxonomy. Take a look at my example: /** * Register event post type * * Function is used by init hook */ function wpse_288373_register_event_post_type() { $labels = array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Events’ ), ‘singular_name’ => __( … Read more
It would go like this (note the absence of the function parameter – and also the capability instead of a role). add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘wpse_74421_menu_admin’ ); function wpse_74421_menu_admin() { add_submenu_page( ‘edit.php?post_type=events’, ‘Add Gallery’, ‘Add Gallery’, ‘delete_plugins’, ‘admin.php?page=nggallery-add-gallery’ ); }
You’d have to manipulate the global $submenu and modify the link in it. Or use jQuery. The following example adds a submenu in the Dashboard menu and changes the destination link just after. The submenu page will dump the contents of the global var. add_action( ‘admin_menu’, function() { add_submenu_page( ‘index.php’, ‘Sandbox Options’, ‘Options’, ‘administrator’, ‘sandbox_options’, … Read more
Make sure that your add_action hook is set to admin_menu. Here’s a sample code: add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘wpse149688’); function wpse149688(){ add_menu_page( ‘Wholesale Pricing’, ‘Wholesale’, ‘manage_options’, ‘woo-wholesale’, ‘woo_wholesale_page_call’); add_submenu_page( ‘woo-wholesale’, ‘Registrations’, ‘Registrations’, ‘manage_options’, ‘woo-wholesale-registrations’, ‘wwpr_page_call’ ); } Also check whether user you’ve logged in as has the ability to view this menu. As this menu is set using … Read more
