Wordpress - add_menu_page() with different name for first submenu item
You can make the 'slug' for the submenu page equal that of the top level page, and they'll point to the same place:
add_action('admin_menu', 'my_menu_pages');
function my_menu_pages(){
add_menu_page('My Page Title', 'My Menu Title', 'manage_options', 'my-menu', 'my_menu_output' );
add_submenu_page('my-menu', 'Submenu Page Title', 'Whatever You Want', 'manage_options', 'my-menu' );
add_submenu_page('my-menu', 'Submenu Page Title2', 'Whatever You Want2', 'manage_options', 'my-menu2' );
}
E.g.
make the slug of parent menu item and sub menu same (first one item) like below
function actions_recent_bids_add_admin_page(){
add_menu_page('Recent Bids', 'Auction Reports', 'manage_options','wc-auction-reports','actions_recent_bids_list','dashicons-chart-area', 56);
add_submenu_page(
'wc-auction-reports', // parent slug
'Recent Bids', // page title
'Recent Bids', // menu title
'manage_options', // capability
'wc-auction-reports', // slug
'acutions_customers_spendings_list' // callback
);
add_submenu_page(
'wc-auction-reports', // parent slug
'Customer Spending', // page title
'Customer Spending', // menu title
'manage_options', // capability
'wc-acutions-customers-spendings', // slug
'acutions_customers_spendings_list' // callback
);
add_submenu_page(
'wc-auction-reports', // parent slug
'Customer Bids', // page title
'Customer Bids', // menu title
'manage_options', // capability
'wc-acutions-customers-bids', // slug
'acutions_customers_bids_list' // callback
);
}
add_action('admin_menu','actions_recent_bids_add_admin_page');
