Question
For a particular custom post type I'm setting, I simply want to change the default icon to the wordpress pages icon (menu-icon-page).
I know I could upload my own pages icon and point to it, but can I just tell wordpress to use the default pages icon?
Here's what I'm using
register_post_type( 'intranet-pages', // creates the custom admin panel
array(
'labels' => array(
...
'menu_icon' => menu-icon-page,
I've tried to do different variations and can't figure it out. Thoughts? If I have to upload my own I will. Just don't want to duplicate if it's not necessary. Thanks!
UPDATE: According to this, it can't be done: How to use a WordPress' existing admin icon? At least not this simply. Does this still apply? Looks like I'll be uploading it.
UPDATE 2: See below for a more elegant solution. Simply uploading and using menu_icon => doesn't allow for the nice hover effects or the 32px icon on the edit screen.
No correct solution
