   I created a plugin which requires several screens. Not all of these screens are accessible, or should be accessible from the dropdown menus.

   The URLs I'm trying to access look like this:

   wp-admin/admin.php?page=MyPlugin/Dashboard.php
   wp-admin/admin.php?page=MyPlugin/SubPageOne.php&id=123
   wp-admin/admin.php?page=MyPlugin/SubPageTwo.php&id=456

   MyPlugin/Dashboard.php has a link to it from a custom menu I've added. The two sub-pages do not.

   My problem is this:

   When I try to access the sub-pages I get this error:

   You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

   What do I need to do in order to allow access to the sub-pages?

   So it's this code in plugin.php (line 947) that's causing the UI to bomb.

   if ( !isset($_registered_pages[$hookname]) )
       return false;
   }

   $hookname is "admin_page_MyPlugin/SubPageOne."

   So, is it considered bad-form to stash references in $_registered_pages forcefully?

   OK. I got past this by putting the following code in my main plugin file.

   $_registered_pages["admin_page_MyPlugin/SubPageOne"] = true;

   Don't use PHP file names, fake or real, as your admin page slug. Use something like: "my-plugin-name-settings" A lot of old examples use __FILE__ — don't. If you're passing in a function callback, you can just use any string as the slug.
