Core Submenus

Introduction​

Administration Menus are the interfaces displayed in WordPress Administration. They allow you to add option pages for your plugin or theme.

Certain top-level menus are registered by the WordPress core and require the use of a different API.

Adding Core Submenus​

You can use the WPN\Support\Admin\Submenu class and core method to register your Tool submenu. Menus should be registered in the boot method of your service provider.

The first parameter of the core method is the core menu you would like to add to.

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\ThemeAdminMenu
use WPN\Support\Admin\Submenu;

Submenu::core( 'dashboard', 'Testing WPN', ThemeAdminMenu::class );

Available Core Menus​

  • dashboard
  • posts
  • media
  • pages
  • comments
  • theme (Appearance)
  • plugins
  • users
  • management (Tools)
  • options
  • links (Permalinks)
Invalid Core Menus

Registering a submenu on a core menu that does not exist will throw a WPN\Exceptions\WPNInvalidCoreMenuException exception.
