=== Description
This report validates whether the indicated patch works as expected.
Patch tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/6971
=== Environment
- WordPress: 7.0-alpha-61215-src
- PHP: 8.2.29
- Server: nginx/1.29.4
- Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.7 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.29)
- Browser: Chrome 143.0.0.0
- OS: macOS
- Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.4
- MU Plugins: None activated
- Plugins:
* Code Snippets 3.9.4
* Test Reports 1.2.1
=== Steps to Reproduce
1. Install Code Snippets plugin to add the following snippet.
(Alternatively add it into the functions.php of the theme)
{{{
add_action( 'admin_menu', function() {
add_submenu_page(
'edit.php',
'Foo',
'Foo',
'list_users',
'foo',
function() {
echo 'Hello Foo';
},
200,
);
add_submenu_page(
'edit.php',
'Bar',
'Bar',
'list_users',
'bar',
function() {
echo 'Hello Bar';
},
100,
);
} );
}}}
2. In admin dashboard, view the Posts menu.
3. Without patch Foo is displayed above Bar
=== Actual Results
1. ✅ Issue resolved with patch.
=== Additional Notes
- Tested submenu position by changing the last argument of
add_submenu_page() function. Zero places the submenu item at the top and
larger value places it below the items having lower values.
