Here’s a quick walkthrough of how the WordPress admin menu is built – I’m not talking the add_menu_page API, I mean the actual default WordPress menu. The menu is, obviously, loaded by wp-admin/admin.php. But it’s not loaded through the standard API we’re used to using based on the WordPress documentation.
How can I Change my wp admin login?

The menu is, obviously, loaded by wp-admin/admin.php. But it’s not loaded through the standard API we’re used to using based on the WordPress documentation. Rather, the entire menu (all possible options, submenus, etc) are loaded via a simple array that’s defined in wp-admin/menu.php.
How to change the Order of menus in WordPress?
Specify the order you want for all of the menus (I supplied references to the menu-loading file so you can get a list of filenames) and this should take care of it. To specify the order of a custom post type’s edit screen using this method, you need to know the URL of the edit screen.
To add an administration menu, there are three things you need to do: Create a function that contains the menu-building code.

How can I change the navigation menu in WordPress?
Editing or Removing a Menu Item in WordPress Navigation Menus When you add pages or categories to your custom navigation menu, WordPress uses the page title or category name as the link text. You can change this if you want. Any menu item can be edited by clicking on the downward arrow next to it.
Aside from categories and pages, WordPress also makes it super easy to add custom links to your menu. You can use it to link to your social media profiles, your online store, and / or other websites that you own. You will need to use the ‘Custom Links’ tab on the Menu screen.
