18622	register_post_type menu_position conflict with add_menu_page	lambje		"Today I was apprised of an issue where my plugin's menu was not being displayed in the Admin sidebar nav.  My plugin is ""WEBphysiology Portfolio"".  The menus are initially set by specifying

menu_position => 5

during the register_post_type call.  This has been placing it right below the Posts menu section.  The register_post_type function is being called during ""init"".

The conflict found today was with the plugin ""W4 Post List"".  They setup their Admin plugin menus by using the add_menu_page function and they specify a position of '6' (with single quotes).  When I changed this to '7' it shifted down, allowing my plugin's menu to appear.

This is rather frustrating and really should be handled by the code that builds out the menu, such that two menus cannot be positioned in the same location.

I don't think this is a duplicate of ticket #16856 but noting that ticket just the same."	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Menus	3.2.1	normal	duplicate
