Getting the Dashboard Menu right for new Custom Posts

[ad_1]

Good day good people.

I am working on my first WP personal plugin project and having a lot of fun. Very much learning as I go. Progress is slow but always moving forward.

Right now I have 5 custom post types and there will likely be 3-5 more.

Right now they each appear in their menu in the Dashboard – eg something like
\[\] Locations (All Locations, Add New)
\[\] Groups (All Groups, Add New)
\[\] People (All People, Add New)

Id like to organise them more like this:
\[\] Campaign Manager
— All Locations
— Add New Location
— All Groups
— Add New Group
— All People
— Add New People
etc

Edit: I probably dont really need the Add New everythings in there…

If its relevant the current **register\_post\_type** looks like this:

`function create_locations_post_type() {`

`$labels = array(`

`’name’ => _x( ‘Locations’, ‘Post Type General Name’, ‘text_domain’ ),`

`’singular_name’ => _x( ‘Location’, ‘Post Type Singular Name’, ‘text_domain’ ),`

`’menu_name’ => __( ‘Locations’, ‘text_domain’ ),`
