Custom Menu Icon not showing for Custom Post Type

[Adam Meyer]

Version: 3.6-beta1-24067

This is the first possible bug I've ever reported, so hope I have done it right.

I have specified a custom menu icon as follows during register_post_type:

'menu_icon' => get_bloginfo('template_url').'/images/pillar-icon-16.png',

I have confirmed the image file is in its correct location, but it's still showing the default post icon in the dashboard menu.

The above code works when running 3.5.1.

Could not reproduce in current trunk (3.6-beta1-24095), the icon shows up for me.

As long as a string is passed in that parameter, it will be used as the icon URL:
​http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.1/wp-admin/menu.php#L110

It doesn't even matter if the URL is valid. If it's invalid, a broken icon will be displayed instead of the default one.

Could you make sure the post type you are adding the icon to is the one where you expect to see it?

Thanks Sergey for your reply, I realised I had stuck it in the $labels array accidentally.

Sorry for the inconvenience - I will count that as my rookie mistake.
