Description
This issue was fixed in version 4.4 per https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23316
The latest version of WP the issue resurfaced.
function add_menu_page position values that conflict will either hide primary side menu items or the side menu items will hide the new menu pages:
Defining the position value as 0 or 1 causes the new menu item to hide the Dashboard menu item.
Defining the position value as 2 causes the Dashboard menu item to hide the new menu item.
Defining the position value as 3 or 4 causes the new menu item to hide the Posts menu item.
Defining the position value as 5 causes the Posts menu item to hide the new menu item.
I didn't research it any further but there is definitely a reintroduction of the bug that was previously resolved.
There is no method of defining position to display a new menu item above Dashboard or between Dashboard and Posts. If 2 menu items are created with defined position values between 0-4 then both the Dashboard and Posts menu item are hidden or hide the new menu items depending on the defined values.

I could not reproduce the error.
The following code in my theme's functions.php
generated 6 menu items but no existing item or new item got hidden by one another.
<?php function add_menu_item(){ $position_arr = array( 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ); foreach ( $position_arr as $item ) { add_menu_page( 'Item-' . $item, 'ITEM-' . $item, 'manage_options', 'item-' . $item, '', 'dashicons-wordpress-alt', $item ); } } add_action('admin_menu', 'add_menu_item');
I have attached a screenshot of my admin page with all existing and new menu items visible.
Do I need anything else to reproduce the error?
Project configuration:
- WordPress version: 4.9.6
- Theme: twentyseventeen
- Installation type: Single site
This bug also breaks the functionality of this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-manager/
The plugin is supposed to display the Link Manager menu item.
If an additional add_menu_page is defined with position 0-5 then the Links Manager menu item displays but the Media menu item is not displayed. If no add_menu_page is defined with position 0-5 then Media menu item is displayed and Links Manager is not displayed.
