My plugin is basically a link display page, for instance if you want to display a page with links to other websites.
In wp-admin I have a menu item on the left side
URL for menu page or options page has 'page' parameter ( page slug defined in add_menu_page() or add_options_page() ). You can always get the current page from $_GET['page'] param, so URL for the options page is:
admin_url( "options-general.php?page=".$_GET["page"] )
, and URL for menu page ( actually it works with options pages also ) is:
admin_url( "admin.php?page=".$_GET["page"] )
You get the concrete URL to admin.php
by using the admin_url function:
admin_url('admin.php'); # http(s)://localhost/wp-admin/admin.php
That function chooses the proper sheme (http/https) based on your Wordpress configuration for you so you do not need to care about it. Same for the path to the admin. The only thing you need to specify is the file name (admin.php
).
And in your concrete example you add the page query-info part:
$url = admin_url('admin.php?page=customlinks');
wp_redirect($url);
