    I am trying to display custom post types called Events and I have created mu-plugins folder and written code below.

    <?php

function post_types_events() {
    register_post_type('event', array(
        'public'     => true,
        'menu_icon'  => 'dashicons-calender',
        'labels'     => array(
            'name'   => 'Events',
            'add_new_item' => 'Add New Event',
            'edit_item'    => 'Edit Event',
            'all_items'    => 'All Events',
            'singular_name' => 'Event'
        )
    )); 
}
add_action('init', 'post_types_events');

?>

    I am using WP version 6.1.1. When I place those above codes in functions.php files then I can see custom post type icons on admin dashboard but when I place it in mu-plugins folder then I dont see any icons on dashboard. Please see attached images.

    thank you for your efforts…. I fixed it.. code was some how misplaced in other folders.

    Ooops: I didn’t see your last post, so please ignore what follows below ??

    Your code works for me in the mu-plugins folder, without a single tweak. I see the admin Events menu (and submenus), I can publish events, and I can view published events.

    The only thing missing (compared to the image you provided) is the calendar dashicon… and that’s due to a misspelling of calendar as calender which is what bcworkz was drawing your attention to.
