I am developing one of my first plugins, and have come across a error:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page

The plugin has a wizard that uses several forms, obviously I don't want people selecting later forms using the menu.

Is there a way to "silently" register a page? Basically, register the page without having it appear in any menu.

(I don't like my work around)

The mighty Codex holds the answers:

  1. 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.

  2. $parent_slug: Use NULL or set to options.php if you want to create a page that doesn't appear in any menu

I am rolling my eyes and laughing at myself. I wouldn't have thought to look on the "add_submenu_page" to figure out how not add a submenu page. Question answered... thanks. – Kavius Jan 15 at 22:23

You can also register a page as normal and remove it using remove_menu_page(). The page will still be accessible by URL, but will not show up in the menu – bungeshea Jan 15 at 22:54
Hmm... I think this may be the question I was really asking [link]wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/7812/… – Kavius Jan 16 at 0:05
