More Information
- 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
. - This function is a simple wrapper for a call to add_submenu_page() , passing the received arguments and specifying ‘
link-manager.php
‘ as the$parent_slug
argument. This means the new page will be added as a sub menu to the Links 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.
