Function Reference/add pages page

Description

Add sub menu page to the Pages menu.

NOTE: If you're running into the »You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.« message in a wp_die() screen, then you've hooked too early. The hook you should use is admin_menu.

Usage

 <?php
add_pages_page
$page_title$menu_title$capability$menu_slug$function);
?> 

Parameters

$page_title
(string) (required) The text to be displayed in the title tags of the page when the menu is selected
Default: None
$menu_title
(string) (required) The text to be used for the menu
Default: None

(callback) (optional) The function to be called to output the content for this page.
Default: ' '

Return Values

string 
The resulting page's hook_suffix (What add_submenu_page() returns)

Notes

  • This function is a simple wrapper for a call to add_submenu_page(), passing the received arguments and specifying 'edit.php?post_type=page' as the $parent_slug argument. This means the new page will be added as a sub menu to the Pages menu.
  • The $capability parameter is used to determine whether or not the page is included in the menu based on the Roles and Capabilities) of the current user.
  • The function handling the output of the options page should also verify the user's capabilities.

Example

Typical usage occurs in a function registered with the 'admin_menu' hook (see Adding Administration Menus):

add_action('admin_menu', 'my_plugin_menu');

function my_plugin_menu() {
	add_pages_page('My Plugin Pages', 'My Plugin', 'read', 'my-unique-identifier', 'my_plugin_function');
}
