More Information More Information
- This action is used to add extra submenus and menu options to the admin panel’s menu structure. It runs after the basic admin panel menu structure is in place.
- This action mustn’t be placed in an admin_init action function because the admin_init action is called after admin_menu.

If you want to change a menu label, you can hook this action and change the
global $menu, $submenu values,add_action( 'admin_menu', 'change_media_label' ); function change_media_label(){ global $menu, $submenu; debug_msg($menu); $menu[10][0] = 'Photos/Videos'; $submenu['upload.php'][5][0] = 'All Photos/Videos'; $submenu['upload.php'][10][0] = 'Upload new'; }Example migrated from Codex:
The example comes from the wpautop-control plugin, in which the code is used to add an options page to the “Settings” menu.
add_action('admin_menu', 'wpautop_control_menu'); function wpautop_control_menu() { add_submenu_page('options-general.php', 'wpautop-control', 'wpautop control', 'manage_options', 'wpautop-control-menu', 'wpautop_control_options'); }
