    Hi folks.

    I have a custom post type and create a submenu page for settings:

    add_action('admin_menu', 'post_type_subpage');
function post_type_subpage() {
    add_submenu_page(
        'edit.php?post_type=mycustomposttype',
        'Configs',
        'Configs Start Page',
        'edit_post',
        'mypost-configs',
        'post_type_subpage_content' );
}

function post_type_subpage_content(){
    echo "<h1>Configs...</h1>";
}

    Is possible insert metaboxes in this menu page? How to?

    I tried using this class as an example, but not understand its operation.

    public function add_options_page() {
		$this->options_page = add_menu_page( $this->title, $this->title, 'manage_options', $this->key, array( $this, 'admin_page_display' ) );
		// Include CMB CSS in the head to avoid FOUT
		add_action( "admin_print_styles-{$this->options_page}", array( 'CMB2_hookup', 'enqueue_cmb_css' ) );
	}

    What is the correct syntax to add a submenu page?

    Replace our add_menu_page and your add_submenu_page code with this:

    $this->options_page = add_submenu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=mycustomposttype', 'Configs', 'Configs Start Page', 'edit_post', $this->key, 'admin_page_display' );

    and it should work fine (with everything else being the same).

    Awesome!
    Thanks guy.

    EDIT: Nevermind – solved it.

    Hi! when i make the change for this code:
    $this->options_page = add_submenu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=mycustomposttype', 'Configs', 'Configs Start Page', 'edit_post', $this->key, 'admin_page_display' );

    i get this error, any idea why? or that code is outdated?

    Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘admin_page_display’ not found or invalid function name in C:\wamp\www\genesis\wp-includes\plugin.php on line 503

    note: both “admin_page_display” (the function call and the function itself) are written exactly the same.

    Best regards ??

    Wait, instead of
    'admin_page_display'
    Should be:
    array( $this, 'admin_page_display' )

    ??

    Glad I decided to refresh the page before I replied. That looks correct to me as well angelmoskera. Glad to hear you found the solution.
