    I am trying to use the Genesis Sub Menu which automatically creates a submenu of child items.
    The issues i am having, is I need to use this on my custom post types, and I don't want to the user to have to set the parent each time, as the parent will always be the same.

    Is there any way to do this? I can't find much documentation on "Parent_Item" and "Parent_Item_Colon" to find how to properly use them or even if they would do the trick. I am assuming this is going to need to be a custom function in my functions.php instead of in my actual customer post type set up?

    Any help or pointers would be awesome. I just spend the last few hours googling this with no avail.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jamie,

    Not sure if this is along the right lines of what you're looking for and it would need some modification for your custom post type but Kafkaesqui's comment in the article below might be helpful.
