Php – Adding the custom page with add_menu_page function on WordPress

PHPWordpress

I am using the add_menu_page function on WordPress, this is the code;

function my_admin_menu() {
    add_menu_page( 'My Top Level Menu Example', 'Top Level Menu', 'manage_options', 'example.php', 'myplguin_admin_page', 'dashicons-tickets', 6  );
}

then the example.php file:

function display_text() {

echo'Welcome to my page'

}

I get the menu in the dashboard but the issue is having content on the page, I can click the option top level page from the dashboard but once I do that I just get an empty page where it should say 'Welcome To My page'

Any Ideas on how to get my content to show?

Use this code it will work for you. you was used wrong function name thats why it is showing blank page

 function my_admin_menu() {
        add_menu_page( 'My Top Level Menu Example', 'Top Level Menu', 'manage_options', 'example.php', 'myplguin_admin_page', 'dashicons-tickets', 6  );
    }

    function myplguin_admin_page(){
    echo 'Welcome to admin page';
    }

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent

Happens when your script tries to send an HTTP header to the client but there already was output before, which resulted in headers to be already sent to the client.

This is an E_WARNING and it will not stop the script.

A typical example would be a template file like this:

<html>
    <?php session_start(); ?>
    <head><title>My Page</title>
</html>
...

The session_start() function will try to send headers with the session cookie to the client. But PHP already sent headers when it wrote the <html> element to the output stream. You'd have to move the session_start() to the top.

You can solve this by going through the lines before the code triggering the Warning and check where it outputs. Move any header sending code before that code.

An often overlooked output is new lines after PHP's closing ?>. It is considered a standard practice to omit ?> when it is the last thing in the file. Likewise, another common cause for this warning is when the opening <?php has an empty space, line, or invisible character before it, causing the web server to send the headers and the whitespace/newline thus when PHP starts parsing won't be able to submit any header.

If your file has more than one <?php ... ?> code block in it, you should not have any spaces in between them. (Note: You might have multiple blocks if you had code that was automatically constructed)

Also make sure you don't have any Byte Order Marks in your code, for example when the encoding of the script is UTF-8 with BOM.
