reorder plugin menu position

  • Looking for a function that I can use to reorder the admin position of a 3rd party plugin, and that will still work once said plugin gets updated.

    – Backstory
    AIO webmaster and All In One Events plugins are both forcing a menu position of 6. So if you load both plugins, the Events plugin “loses” and disappears.

    I’d like a function to simply move AIO webmaster from say position 6 to somewhere else — best would be to remove the position all together, and have it fall into default menu order!

    In the meantime, I’m hacking the AIO webmaster code from:

    public function aiow_premium_menupage() {
		add_menu_page ( 'All in One Webmaster', 'AIO Webmaster', 'manage_options', 'aiow-premium', 'all_in_one_premium_webmaster_webmaster_page', plugins_url ( 'all-in-one-webmaster/images/favicon.ico' ), 6);

    and removing the 6 position

    public function aiow_premium_menupage() {
		add_menu_page ( 'All in One Webmaster', 'AIO Webmaster', 'manage_options', 'aiow-premium', 'all_in_one_premium_webmaster_webmaster_page', plugins_url ( 'all-in-one-webmaster/images/favicon.ico' ) );

    ..obviously, this only lasts until the plugin gets updated.

    Any overriding function ideas to make that change stick?

    The only way I see is to reassign the global $menu[6] to $menu[] after the first plugin’s code executes but before the second’s. As they probably both hook ‘admin_menu’ with the default priority of 10, this proves to be difficult to get between.

    Apparently the callbacks of identical priority are called alphabetically, so by careful naming of your ‘admin_menu’ callback you should be able to get between the two to institute a fix. Good luck!
