Creating Subpage called "Settings"

[jljr222]

I really like this! I'm getting started with WordPress plugin development, and this has been really helpful. My issue may be unique and not a typical use case, but here is what I'm trying to accomplish:

• Plugin Menu Name
  -- Settings
  -- Another Option

You can see that above I'm trying to create the initial page for my plugin. That page has all of my sections, fields, etc., set on it. I added a sub-page to the plugin, and it automatically made a sub-page above it that has the same name as the menu:

• Plugin Menu Name
  -- Plugin Menu Name
  -- Another Option

What I would like to do is rename the first sub-page to be called "Settings." I've seen a lot of plugins do it this way, and I wanted to mimic that. The slug between "Settings" and "Plugin Menu Name" should be the same.

Is this possible?."

I'll have to look into that. I think it's a default thing with WordPress that, when a nested menu item is created, it creates a top-level page underneath it that acts as the "root" of the menu item.

By creating a submenu page using the same slug as the parent menu page, we can rename the first link of the menu

add_submenu_page('plugin-menu-slug', 'Settings', 'Settings', 'administrator', 'plugin-menu-slug', array($this, 'display_page_settings'));

Which would result in this code following the RationalOptionPages syntax

$option_page = new RationalOptionPages(array(
	'plugin-menu-slug'	=> array(
		'page_title'	=> 'Settings',
		// via the subpages key
		'subpages'		=> array(
			'plugin-menu-slug' => array(
				'page_title' => 'Settings'
			),
			'another-option'	=> array(
				'page_title'	=> 'plugin-menu-slug',
			),
		),
	),
));

Unfortunately, when using a similar code the options pages are not created as expected and nothing is rendered
