More Information

  • If you’re running into the »You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.« message in a wp_die() screen, then you’ve hooked too early. The hook you should use is admin_menu.
  • This function is a simple wrapper for a call to add_submenu_page(), passing the received arguments and specifying ‘link-manager.php‘ as the $parent_slug argument. This means the new page will be added as a sub menu to the Links menu.
  • The $capability parameter is used to determine whether or not the page is included in the menu based on the Roles and Capabilities of the current user.
  • The function handling the output of the options page should also verify the user’s capabilities.
