So I'm attempting a little customisation of the admin dashboard in Wordpress (version 4.9.1 bleeding edge). I'm creating a custom post within a plugin that I will be developing for bidding and displaying ad listing posts. The register_post_type function setup is fairly standard and as follows (stripping away anything surplus to requirements):
function tp_register_advert_post_type() {
$singular = 'Ad Listing';
$plural = 'Ad Listings';
$labels = array(
'name' => $plural,
'singular_name' => $singular,
'add_name' => 'Add New',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New ' . $singular,
'edit' => 'Edit',
'edit_item' => 'Edit ' . $singular,
'new_item' => 'New ' . $singular,
'view' => 'View',
'view_item' => 'View ' . $singular,
'search_item' => 'Search ' . $plural,
'parent' => 'Parent ' . $singular,
'not_found' => 'No ' . $plural .' found',
'not_found_in_trash' => 'No ' . $plural .' in Trash'
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'show_in_admin_bar' => true,
'menu_position' => 6,
'menu-icon' => 'dashicons-vault',
'can_export' => true,
);
register_post_type( 'ad listing', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'tp_register_advert_post_type' );
Everything works except the menu_icon in the $args array? What exactly have I done wrong here? I can't see anything obvious - everything else works, other than the default "pin" icon is still showing? Help?
It appears that your index in $args
is menu-icon
but it should be menu_icon
according to the Codex.
