I have tried adding this to my plugin to add a menu to the dashboard

`add_submenu_page(
‘xls-download’,
__( ‘XLS Download’, ‘xls-download’ ),
__( ‘XLS Download’, ‘xls-download’ ),
‘export’,
‘xls-download’
);`

But I am getting

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in …… public_html/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 652

Working fine at my end, use below code

function custom_options_panel(){
  add_menu_page('Custom page title', 'Custom menu label', 'manage_options', 'Custom-options', 'wps_Custom_func');
  add_submenu_page( 'Custom-options', 'Settings page title', 'Settings menu label', 'manage_options', 'Custom-op-settings', 'wps_Custom_func_settings');
  add_submenu_page( 'Custom-options', 'FAQ page title', 'FAQ menu label', 'manage_options', 'Custom-op-faq', 'wps_Custom_func_faq');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'custom_options_panel');

You have issue with capabilities options.


add_submenu_page(
    'xls-download',
    __( 'XLS Download', 'xls-download' ),
    __( 'XLS Download', ‘xls-download' ),
    'export',
    'xls-download'
);

should be like this


add_submenu_page(
    'xls-download',
    __( 'XLS Download', 'xls-download' ),
    __( 'XLS Download', ‘xls-download' ),
    'manage_options',
    'xls-download'
);

I have change it to

function xls_download_menu() {	
		add_submenu_page(
			'xls-download',
			__( 'XLS Download', 'xls-download' ),
			__( 'XLS Download', 'xls-download' ),
			'export',
			'xls-download'			
		);
}

but the menu isn’t showing up? Is export correct? I would have thought so

I also put

add_action(‘admin_menu’,’xls_download_menu’); and it is calling the function alright

You should use


function xls_download_menu() {	
		add_submenu_page(
			'xls-download',
			__( 'XLS Download', 'xls-download' ),
			__( 'XLS Download', 'xls-download' ),
			'manage_options',
			'xls-download', 
                        'render_view', 
                        10	
		);
}

function render_view() {
   // HTML Output
}
