# Nesting Admin Menu Items for Post Types?

 * I have created a custom post type of “messages” and now I want to create a custom
   post type of “series” but I don’t want to have two menu items added in the admin
   menu (e.g. “Messages” and “Series”), instead I want to have “Messages” and then“
   Series” under that. How can I accomplish this with CPT UI?
 * Thanks,
    Dave

 * If you scroll down to the “Show In Menu” setting you’ll see a select input for“
   true/false” but also a text input below it. It’s that text input you want to 
   use for the post type you want nested.
 * For an example, I have 2 post types. “Movies” and “TV”. I wanted “TV” to be nested.
   So I went to that spot for the TV post type settings, and added “edit.php?post_type
   =movie” to the text field and hit save. “TV” started showing up nested, but it
   may not be an exact match from what I can tell. For instance there’s not an “
   Add New” for both, at least not with my quick testing. Worth tinkering around
   with settings though to see what results.
