I am adding a menu to wordpress using the following:
add_action('admin_menu','menu');
function menu(){
add_menu_page('Test Admin Panel','Test Admin Panel','TestAdmin','test-plugin'.'- top-level','mnuTopLevel');
add_submenu_page( 'test-plugin'.'-top-level', 'Test Results', 'Test Results', 'TestAdmin', 'test-plugin'.'results', 'mnuResults' );
The menu is shown when logging in with the administrator role but not when logging in with a custom role (created with the User Role Editor).
Can you help me on this one please ?
Thanks a lot
The third argument of add_menu_page() should be a capability of the user.

I want to add a menu page on Admin as well as User Dashboard, I have developed a plugin and it is working fine on admin dashboard but it is not showing on Client/User Dashboard. May be it is due to "role" property. But I want this on client side also. Can anyone help me please,thanks in advance!
Basic purpose is that the client have to offer some products to share or download on the website form his client/user dashboard. so I need to add this functionality using a plugin and this needs to add on client dashboard to work.
function wpdocs_register_my_custom_menu_page() {
add_menu_page(
__( 'Custom Menu Title', 'oceanwp' ), 'Offers','manage_options','ump-date-updater/ump-date-updater.php', '', 'dashicons-tickets',6);
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'wpdocs_register_my_custom_menu_page');
According to WP Codex the $capability parameter determines whether the menu item is shown to a user. See here for more info on roles and capabilities, and how to create custom capabilities.
// run this function on your plugin activation code
function setup_capabilities()
{
$role = get_role( 'author' ); // set this to the actual role of "User"
$role->add_cap('see_my_custom_menu_item');
}
and replace manage_options in your code with see_my_custom_menu_item
When I customize the my account page in woocommerce, I can edit right side section by creating my_account.php inside my account folder in woocommerce. But In left side it is showing "Define your 'My Account' navigation Apperance > Menus",
After seeing this I tried to create menu called "My account", but there was no theme location existing, so I create a theme location called "my account menu". And I assign "my account" menu with theme location "my account menu".
I don't know how to connect this menu to my account page in woocommerce, the page again showing same "Define your 'My Account' navigation Apperance > Menus".
Try Appearance>Menus>Custom Links
Otherwise:
Is the theme you are trying to edit a pre-built theme?
Is the platform up-to-date or outdated (sometimes updates/bugs can alter functionality of pre existing code)?
Sometimes there are errors in the theme build, as I have seen. In such a case, I would recommend reaching out to the theme developer(s) as they can usually help the best in this situation. If not, check back. Hope this helps.
Call menu by menu name instead of theme_location
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'Main Menu' ) ); ?>
I have created a menu in drupal 7 with Sign in link. It remains unchanged even when a user is logged in. How to change that to logout for authenticated users?
I had to use 2 menus to overcome that. One menu for authenticated users and the other for anonymous. Then I user menu_block contrib module to print out both menus in the same place based on user login status.
Hope you find this helpful... Muhammad.
The reason why it remained unchanged maybe because you gave an absolute url for sign in.
In order to create Sign In and Logout link in the same menu, please follow these steps.
For Sign In
Menu link title : "Sign In"
Path: "user/login"
For Logout
Menu link title: "Logout"
Path: "user/logout"
Now it should work like expected. Sign In link would be shown to anonymous users and Logout link would be shown to authenticated users.
For creating such menu items programmatically,
$item = array(
'link_path' => 'user/login',
'link_title' => t('Sign In'),
);
menu_link_save($item);
$item = array(
'link_path' => 'user/logout',
'link_title' => t('Logout'),
);
menu_link_save($item);
There are more options available that can be passed to menu_link_save, please check out this link to learn more about it.
By default core menu comes with user menu. It contains /user for the current logged user, but it doesn't show for anonymous access. to accomplish this you could:
Go to the user menu: admin/structure/menu/manage/user-menu.
Add a new link with the path: user/login.
Add the title you need.
Save
Look at hook_menu implementation on user module for more details, but essentially it shows up only for anonymous users.
Hope this helps
I need help to show the left menu item on other role users dashboard. I am using the code at plugin to add the custom admin menu items .
add_action('admin_menu', 'wp_hotlel_admin_menu');
function wp_hotlel_admin_menu() {
add_menu_page('Page Title', 'Menu Title', 10,'unique-slug','ChainForm_page');
function ChainForm_page() {
echo "test";
}
The menu is being displayed and working at admin dashboard. But not being displayed at other users dashboard. I am being logged in through Wordpress basic users login section.
I have added the line below,
global $wp_roles;
$wp_roles->add_cap('Subscriber','wp-wall');
Subscriber is my user type. The menu item is not being displayed still at general users custom menu.
Please help me to fix this.
Thanks in advance.
The add_cap has been deprecated since version 2.8 I believe. You could use something like:
<?php
if( current_user_can( 'edit-posts' ) ){
//YOUR CODE HERE
}
?>
See the Codex Pages for Roles and Capabilities:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
And a simplified version:
http://web-profile.com.ua/wordpress/dev/user-capabilities/
Your value 10 (the third argument) should be replaced with a capability (e.g. 'edit_pages'). User levels are deprecated. Here is a list of all available capabilities and their associated roles.
I'm building a Wordpress plugin and I added a menu page which serves for management of "Vendor" entities that are kinda similar to the existing User entities.
I have a list page similar to Users List, with Edit button for every record and when I click on the "Edit" button I should be taken to the "Edit Vendor" (which does not have its submenu item in the admin menu) page for that vendor. Everything is stored in the "plugins/wp_vendors" folder.
Question: What URL should I use for opening that Edit page? How should a slug be registered for the Edit Vendor page?
PS. Vendor List is added to the admin menu with
add_menu_page('Vendors', 'Vendors', 8, 'C:\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\wp-vendors\vendors-list.php');
And I can open the List page with
http://localhost/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp-vendors/vendors-list.php
Can anyone help me on this?
Well, first I'd suggest modifying the initial add_menu_page call:
add_menu_page( 'Vendors', 'Vendors', 'manage_options', 'wp-vendors', 'my_admin_page_callback' );
The user level argument is deprecated, so it's better to use capabilities. Also, it's better to use a callback function for the admin page, since having plugin files output data by default can lead to unexpected errors.
Now, there are a few ways you can do what you're asking. You can either register a new submenu:
add_submenu_page( 'wp-vendors', 'Edit Vendor', 'Edit Vendor', 'manage_options', 'wp-vendors-edit', 'my_admin_edit_page_callback' );
And have that function check for a vendor id to edit. If it doesn't exist, redirect them back to the main vendors menu page.
With this method, the url would look like this:
http://localhost/wp-admin.php?page=wp-vendors-edit&vendor=<vendor ID>
The other way is just to use URL arguments and separate your admin page callback with if checks. For example:
if( ( isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == 'edit' ) && ( isset($_GET['vendor']) && !empty($_GET['vendor']) ) ){
//You're editing a vendor.
} else {
//You're listing the vendors.
}
Then make the link for editing look like this:
http://localhost/wp-admin.php?page=wp-vendors&action=edit&vendor=<vendor ID>
