I am trying to create a custom plugin using the code below but the tab/link to the page is not appearing in the WordPress Dashboard and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. My company-admin.php file is located in my plugins folder inside a folder called company-admin. The file permissions for the php file are 644 incase that is relevant. Can you help?
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'my_admin_menu' );
function my_admin_menu() {
add_menu_page(
'Company Admin',
'Company Admin',
'manage_options',
'company-admin/company-admin.php',
'',
'',
6
);
}
I'm unsure if this is the correct way to navigate to my plugin but I used this link, correct me if its the wrong link;
https://mywebpage.uk/wp-admin/admin.php?page=company-admin%2Fcompany-admin.php
And what I get is the following error;
Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.

For develop a plugin follow the wordpress official guide https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/intro/
Let me know.
Try to add more code to your path. Instead of 'company-admin/company-admin.php', paste 'your_plagin_folder/company-admin/company-admin.php',
Edited
But more cleanest is using that way:
function wpdocs_register_my_custom_menu_page(){
add_menu_page(
'Custom Menu Title',
'custom menu',
'manage_options',
'custompage',
'my_custom_menu_page',
'',
6
);
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'wpdocs_register_my_custom_menu_page' );
/**
* Display a custom menu page
*/
function my_custom_menu_page(){
//print all what you need or include any pages
include_once plugins_url('company-admin/company-admin.php', __FILE__);
}

I have developed a plugin to write my own customized functions and its already activated. I want to add 1 page on the admin dashboard and using below code but it doesn't seem to be working
add_action('admin_menu', 'addAdminPage');
function addAdminPage() {
add_menu_page('Status Page', 'Status Menu', 'manage_options', '__FILE__', 'AdminPage', 'dashicons-wordpress',90);
}
function AdminPage() {
echo 'Hello';
}
You say it's not working but you haven't told us what the error is. Regardless, if you use this, it should work:
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'addAdminPage' );
function addAdminPage(){
add_menu_page(
__( 'Status Page', 'yourplugintextdomain' ),
'Status Menu',
'manage_options',
'statuspage',
'AdminPage',
'dashicons-wordpress',
90
);
}
function AdminPage(){
esc_html_e( 'Hello', 'yourplugintextdomain' );
}
You shouldn't be attempting to use the ( __FILE__ ) as the slug, so I just made it statuspage. Whenever you're writing custom functionality like this, try to prefix everything with something that relates it back to your plugin. Like: lrnr_statuspage and name your functions stuff like lrnr_AdminPage that way you reduce the risk of running into conflicts. Include your plugin or theme's text domain as well to make what you're building translation ready. It's just good practice.
Update/Correction:
I had the function name incorrect. It will work now.
Here is it running on a site I'm currently developing, I just added the above block of code to the bottom of my functions.php and added your username to the 'Hello' message.
I try to make my own theme in wordpress. Stucked a problem: i can't see menu button in admin panel. I've registered menu in functions.php of my theme
<?php
register_nav_menu( 'menu', 'Menu on the main page' );
?>
But there is no menu button appear in admin panel - appereance. I did all that was recommended on youtube video (https://youtu.be/I0zu6Dc3JDI?t=95). Nothing. Please help =) I have last version of Wordpress.
You was half way there, you had the right idea for registering the menu however you missed out telling WordPress to run your register menu command.
What you need to do is wrap it in a function and call the function on 'init' which is the initialisation of the admin area (one of many WordPress hooks), see below:
function register_child_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'my-menu' => __( 'My Menu' )
)
);
} add_action( 'init', 'register_child_menus' );
I want to add custom menu and sub-menu to Wordpress admin area. I read some info about it in Codex and I added menus using the function below, which I placed in my theme's functions.php
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'restaurant_menu' );
function restaurant_menu() {
add_menu_page( 'Restaurants Admin Page', 'Restaurants', 'manage_options', get_template_directory() . '/inc/restaurants.php', 'restaurants_admin_page', 'dashicons-format-aside', 6 );
The menu is added to the Wordpress admin sidebar, but I when I'm going that page it goes to the next link:
http://site.ge/wp-admin/admin.php?page=home%2Fbmtbow%2Fpublic_html%2Ftesting%2Fwp-content%2Fthemes%2Fmytheme%2Finc%2Frestaurants.php
but there is no any content, like it is not pointed to the right PHP file.
Am I doing something wrong? and could you help me to solve this problem?
The add_menu_page function doesn't seem to accept a php file as an argument for content. But it does take a function name. You can call your php file with the content in a function, then pass that function as an argument to add_menu_page. (As a side point, you might have the order of your arguments mixed up. The slug is supposed to be 4th, not 5th.) More information about add_menu_page() and it's arguments can be found here.
Try this:
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'restaurant_menu' );
function restaurant_menu() {
add_menu_page( 'Restaurants Admin Page', 'Restaurants', 'manage_options', 'restaurants_admin_page', 'restaurant_admin_page_contents', 'dashicons-format-aside', 6 );
}
function restaurant_admin_page_contents(){
include get_template_directory() . '/inc/restaurants.php';
}
I have created a Custom Setting API for web developing for a client. I was just creating first menu option on the WP dashboard.
But when I send file I get this error message saying -->
:call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ' allb_admin_page' not found or invalid function name in
function allb_admin_page() {
add_menu_page( ' ALLB Theme Options', 'ALLB', 'manage_options', 'a-legacy-left-behind', 'allb_theme_create_page', 110);
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', ' allb_admin_page' );
function allb_theme_create_page() {
// genration of our admin page
}
I was thinking this may be new update or this function that i am using might be removed from WordPress or i am doing something wrong please explain.
Can anyone help with this quick issue having on word press, please?
Thank you,
Happy New Years!!!
You need to remove the space:
add_action('admin_menu', 'allb_admin_page');
Here is the answer..
Please try it once, Just copy and past this code..
function allb_admin_page() {
add_menu_page('ALLB Theme Options', 'ALLB', 'manage_options', 'a-legacy-left-behind', 'allb_theme_create_page', 110);
}
add_action('admin_menu','allb_admin_page');
function allb_theme_create_page() {
// genration of our admin page
}
I hope it'll help to you..
