Redux Framework Add Submenu

Question

I cant get Redux Options Framework working for my plugin. I was trying to add the settings as submenu to my plugin.

I created a simplified demo plugin and could also approve this behaviour.

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Redux sample plugin
 * Plugin URI: http://URI_Of_Page_Describing_Plugin_and_Updates
 * Description: A brief description of the Plugin.
 * Version: The Plugin's Version Number, e.g.: 1.0
 * Author: Name Of The Plugin Author
 * Author URI: http://URI_Of_The_Plugin_Author
 * License: A "Slug" license name e.g. GPL2
 */

require_once(plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'inc/admin/admin-init.php'); 

function redux_sample_plugin_log() {
}

function createSettingsMenue() {

        $pluginSlug = 'redux_sample_plugin';
        //create new top-level menu
        add_menu_page('Redux Sample Plugin'),
                        'Redux Sample Plugin',
                        'administrator',
                        $pluginSlug . '_log',
                        'LogMenu'
                                );

        /*add_submenu_page( $pluginSlug . '_log',
                        null,
                        'Im a silly dummy entry',
                        'administrator',
                        'dummy',
                        '__return_null'  );*/
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'createSettingsMenue', 9 );

I changed the config to this:

...
    'page_slug' => 'my_plugin_settings',
    'page_title' => 'Settings'
    'menu_type' => 'submenu',
    'page_parent' => 'redux_sample_plugin_log',
...

The Menu is not shown with the code above (case 1 illustration). If you comment in the submenu function call the redux options are shown properely (case 2 illustration). I spent a lot of time but can't get it working. I was that sure it must be a bug that I opened a case at the github issue tracker (#1745) and also provided some additional details. They said I'm likely doing it wrong. Can somebody help me out?

@AaronLee nope. I would share a solution. As workaround I have created a 'About this Plugin' page... Can you confirm the behaviour? — No3x, Dec 14 '14 at 02:34

Trying adding lower priority for "admin_menu" hook. Priority 9 is working for me.

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'register_my_custom_menu_page', 9);

function register_my_custom_menu_page(){
    add_menu_page( "Options", "Options", 'manage_options', "slug_options", 'function_to_call', '', 81 );
    add_submenu_page( 'slug_options', 'My Custom Page', 'My Custom Page', 'manage_options', 'sub-menu-slug', 'function_to_call_sub');
}

Redux configuration:

'menu_type'            => 'submenu',
'allow_sub_menu'       => true,
'page_parent'          => "slug_options",
'page_permissions'     => 'manage_options',

Working fine for me.

Well that's what I'm doing, isn't it? Please look at my sample plugin code above. The priority is 9. You just confirmed the behaviour that you need a submenu entry first! Otherwise the menu is not shown - and that's actually the issue here. — No3x, Nov 20 '14 at 17:12

So Redux creates it's own menu. Are you trying to make it a sub-menu of a menu then?

Page parent is usually a php file...

Yes I try making it a submenu of a (registered top level) menu. Special case: there is no submenu in the menu yet -> redux doesn't appear. If I add at least one submenu also redux appears. (see added illustration) – No3x Oct 20 '14 at 19:38
