I'm battling with a wordpress plugin and custom post type - specifically adding it to a submenu. I have checked the wordpress codex pages, namely: Custom Post Types, Roles and Capabilities and the Add Submenu Codex, which I cannot post a link to as I dont have 10 reputation.
But I'm not finding a way to do this. I assume I'm missing something simple and someone here can assist.
I have a wordpress custom post type called ns_home_page and it is setup as
register_post_type('ns_home_page',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Home Page' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Home Page' )
),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'revisions' ),
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => false,
)
);
Next, I have added it by
add_action('init', array($this, 'create_homepage_items_type'));
which is calling a method in the class I have created in my plugin. This all works fine. I have added three new posts and they work 100%.
The issue is now I would like to add these to a custom menu in admin.
I have the following code for this:
$page_title = 'Ns Content';
$menu_title = 'NS Content';
$capability = 'manage_options';
$menu_slug = 'ns-content';
$capability = "manage_options";
$function = array($this, 'display_admin');
add_menu_page($page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function);
$submenu_page_title = 'Ns Home Page';
$submenu_title = 'Home Page';
$submenu_slug = 'edit.php?post_type=ns_home_page';
$submenu_function = 'myplugin_help';
$capability = "publish_posts";
add_submenu_page($menu_slug, $submenu_page_title, $submenu_title, $capability, $submenu_slug, $submenu_function);
This creates a menu in my admin with the title "NS Content", and this has two submenu's, "NS Content" and "Home Page". However, the link to the Home Page content type is currently
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=edit.php?post_type=ns_home_page and in order to display my posts, I need the link to be
/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=ns_home_page Ant idea how to set this link up correctly?
