[wp-hackers] Hello, new developer with a question

[Callum Macdonald]

Hey Derek,

I'm pretty sure add_menu_page() doesn't add a child page. So you could 
simply add a child page with the same page name and function, but a 
different title.

However, if it does add a child page automatically, hook into the 
'admin_menu' action and manually edit the $menu and $submenu variables. 
You can see how they're structured in wp-admin/menu.php - it's pretty 
straightforward.

Cheers,


Callum.
