Adding a sub-menu in the wordpress admin menu :)

2010-07-29 2 min read Wordpress

For the impatient ones, first the code:
(in wp-admin folder, open the file menu.php) and locate the code:

$submenu[&#8217;edit.php&#8217;][10]  = array( _x(&#8217;Add New&#8217;, &#8217;post&#8217;), &#8217;edit_posts&#8217;, &#8217;post-new.php&#8217; );

and add the below:

$submenu[&#8217;edit.php&#8217;][7]  = array( _x(&#8217;Pending&#8217;, &#8217;post&#8217;), &#8217;edit_posts&#8217;, &#8217;edit.php?post_status=pending&post_type=post&#8217; );

And now the explanation and why do you need this 🙂

Problem:

There is no direct mechanism to access the pending posts in WP admin. I generally post through email and mark them as pending. So, whenever I go to my admin POSTs page, I will look through the list of pending items and post them as and when required. For this, when I am done with changes in one item, I need to either modify the address bar or need to go to posts link and then click the Pending items.
