WordPress. Changing the order of admin menu items<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Let’s change the positions of Testimonial, Services, FAQ’s <\/strong> and Our Team<\/strong> items:<\/p>\r\n

\"WordPress-Renaming_admin_menu_items-1\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Log into WordPress Admin Panel<\/strong>, then go to Appearance -> Editor<\/strong>, look for theme-init.php<\/strong> file; or you can log into FTP\/File Manager<\/strong>, go to wp-content\/themes\/themeXXXXX\/includes\/theme-init.php<\/strong> file:<\/p>\r\n

    \"WordPress-Renaming_admin_menu_items-2\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

    Open the file, you can use CTRL+F<\/strong> to search for a specific item:<\/p>\r\n

    \"WordPress-Renaming_admin_menu_items-3\"<\/a>\r\n <\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Each post is using ‘register_post_type’<\/strong> or ‘menu_position’<\/strong> with a specific digit that needs to be changed. In case some posts do not have those features, then you can add ‘menu_position’ => … <\/strong>, and set an appropriate number.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    When everything is done, press Update File<\/strong> button:<\/p>\r\n
