Multiple Submenus

  • It seems possible to make a submenu only one layer deep. I’d like to be able to create submenus within submenus.

    For example, I’d like to move “Pages” and “Posts” (and all of their submenu items of “All Pages”, “Add New,” etc.) to a custom menu item, “Site Content.” So, in tree form, it would look like this:

    Site Content
    ?????|—Pages
    ??????????|—All Pages
    ??????????|—Add New
    ?????|—Posts
    ??????????|—All Posts
    ??????????|—Add New
    ??????????|—Categories
    ??????????|—Tags
    Plugins
    … etc …

    But it seems I can only get one layer of submenu, ie “Pages” and “Posts” under “Site Content,” and then the “All Pages,” “Add New,” etc., would have to be on the same level as “Pages,” and “Posts.” I hope this makes sense.

    Am I doing something wrong/missing something?

    You’re not doing anything wrong, it’s just that WordPress doesn’t actually support multiple admin menu layers/levels like that. Adding more levels is complicated because WordPress wasn’t designed with that in mind. There’s a bunch of core code that assumes the admin menu will only ever have one submenu level.

    The Pro version of AME adds support for one additional submenu level, but that’s considered an experimental feature. I cannot guarantee that it will work properly on all sites/with all other plugins.
