Move Menu

Hey Gregg. I think this is doable; while the request probably falls outside the realm of what we normally can support for free users (as it’s more customization than a bug), I know Jonah from our team has helped folks out with this in the past…let me see if he has a link to an existing thread he can share with you.

Hey Gregg,

The easiest way to do this is with this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/admin-menu-editor/

I hope that helps!

You all set here Gregg?

Hi Barry, jonahcoyote solution with a plugin could work but I am a developer and was just looking for where the function is that places the events menu in the current location. Thanks for for following up. ??

Sure, well in that case we’ll leave you to determine your own solution, as Rob noted we can’t really spend too much time or go into too much depth here – and you can of course default to Jonah’s solution if needs be.

Thanks!

ok Thanks

Thanks for confirming, Gregg Franklin. Sorry we couldn’t offer up more here.

Gregg,

As noted everywhere, the admin menu is a total pain to modify except with plugins like the one linked above which is suboptimal for other reasons. This makes me feel slimy, but this will work:

function move_tec_menu_item() {

	global $menu;

	$menu[40] = $menu[6];
	unset($menu[6]);

}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'move_tec_menu_item', 9999 );

That 40 puts it below comments and above the divider. Check out the “Positions for Core Menu Items” section on the add_menu_page() Codex Page for a guide to the various possible position numbers.

Thanks mrwweb I will give that a shot. The feeling slimy had me laughing.
