 * I have added a menu item with custom post type and I am adding it to a admin 
   menu i created with add_menu_page(), menu looks like below
 * Top-level menu item
    -menu item (created with register_post_type()) -menu item#
   1 (created with add_submenu_page()) -menu item #2 (created with add_submenu_page())
 * so when i add a new post through my new custom post type, the highlighted menu
   item changes to #1. If I add another custom post type and add it to the menu 
   it will always highlight #1 when clicking add post through either custom post
   type menu.
 * Any clue why this is happening?
