Hi,
I have created a new menu for my plugin and it works fine, however I would like to move the position of the menu link on the admin page higher up in the list. It is currently right at the bottom below Settings and I would ideally like to have it below Posts.
Note: I don't want it as a submenu under posts, I know how to do that already!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Not really up on this, but, using the example at http://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Administration_Menus#Inserting_the_Pages
and changing
// Add a new top-level menu (ill-advised):
add_menu_page('Test Toplevel', 'Test Toplevel', 'administrator', 'mt-top-level-handle', 'mt_toplevel_page');to this will cause Test Toplevel to be displayed after the Posts menu items. It's that 10 which is the 'position' value.
// Add a new top-level menu (ill-advised):
add_menu_page('Test Toplevel', 'Test Toplevel', 'administrator', 'mt-top-level-handle', 'mt_toplevel_page','',10);

Hi MichaelH,
That doesn't work :(
Where did you read that adding those extra values would change the position?
Any other ideas?
Worked okay for me when I put it in the form of a plugin.
Also found out about the 'postition' argument here--you have to look at the add_menu_page function down that page:

Hi MichealH,
I was looking in the codex and couldn't find the extra argument you put in the add_menu_page. What does it do exactly?
btw it does work but I was just wondering why??
It's the position thing, but I can't 'really explain it' except to suggest looking at that link I provided. Not much help...sorry.

It's a little bit trial and error. Be careful though: if you use the wrong value it causes other menu-items to disappear. Using '20' caused my plugin to replace the 'Pages' menu item.
