You use add_menu_page function https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/functions/add_menu_page/
which has 4th argument is capability. You set it as administrator by default, but administrator role doesn’t have administrator capability. https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/#administrator
Could you fix it, please?

@ioannup,

I appreciate your feedback, however, you are mistaken. In WordPress core, role slug is also a capability. So if a user has a role Administrator assigned, he/she also has administrator capability. This work the same way for any role (e.g. Editor role has also editor capability).

Regards,
Vasyl

That’s what an official source says

While checking against a role in place of a capability is supported in part, this practice is discouraged as it may produce unreliable results.
