Introduction

In this online video session, we cover a very interesting topic – plugin menus. We will learn how to create plugin menus in the WordPress dashboard using custom plugins.

Plugin Menus

Let’s dive into it and discuss the requirements of WordPress which specify that when we click the "Activate" button, we should have a menu created within the WordPress dashboard. When we deactivate, it should be removed and re-activated, it should appear back again.

Developing the Plugin

Now, let’s move to the developers’ documentation page.

Important Functions

A key function we will use in WordPress is the add_action which is not available in PHP. We need to call upon the action hook to execute the relevant function. After execution, we will see the menu added. Similarly, we need to have a callback function executed during the same.

Adding the Menu

We need to specify the page and position of our menu within this process. After adding these details, we will save the changes and reload the WordPress page to see our custom menu. By following this process, we have successfully added our custom plugin menu within our admin dashboard.
