I am currently using add_submenu_page to add pages for my plugin. However, I wish to create a page that don't appear in the admin menu, is that possible?

Set the parent_slug property to null, example;

   add_submenu_page( 
          null            // -> Set to null - will hide menu link
        , 'Page Title'    // -> Page Title
        , 'Menu Title'    // -> Title that would otherwise appear in the menu
        , 'administrator' // -> Capability level
        , 'menu_handle'   // -> Still accessible via admin.php?page=menu_handle
        , 'page_callback' // -> To render the page
    );

This will hide the sub menu page from your parent (top level) menu link.

It does not state this in the Codex entry for add_submenu_page though.

It now states this in the Codex entry for add_submenu_page (thanks goto Ian Dunn).

It does now :) It only takes a minute to update it. – Ian Dunn Sep 15 '12 at 9:20
Good lad, thanks. I was trying to do that but having trouble with log-in. – userabuser Sep 15 '12 at 9:44

You can also set the parent page to options.php to achieve the same effect. – Pippin Sep 15 '12 at 19:55
Thanks @Pippin, I've also added that to the Codex with example code. – userabuser Sep 15 '12 at 20:25
