I've created a menu page in the dashboard, then I created a custom post type and now I want to put the menu of the custom post type as a submenu under the first menu page I had created. I tried

'show_in_menu' => 'admin.php?page=mytestpage',

However that did not work. Any tips?

  • DO you want to add the Custom Post under an Admin menu item? like: Post -> Custom post ?

  • Yes but not under Post, under one of my custom created menu items.

    way not the other way around? create the custom post type and add your custom page as sub page to that.

You only need to add the page slug to "show_in_menu", making the answer to your example:

'show_in_menu' => 'mytestpage',

For a more complete example:

Admin/Settings page of: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=mytestpage

register_post_type('mycpt', array('label' => 'My Custom Post Type', 'capability_type' => 'post', 'show_ui' => true, 'show_in_menu' => 'mytestpage'));

Ended up creating the custom post type and adding my custom page as sub page to that, as suggested by Bainternet
