Main menu link also showing on submenu in WP admin panel

I have created a custom top menu in admin panel and also add two submenu for that menu. my code is as follows:

add_action('admin_menu', 'my_create_menu');

function my_create_menu() {
    add_menu_page('My custom menu', 'My custom menu Settings', 'manage_options', __FILE__, 'my_custom_menu',plugins_url('assets/images/test.png', __FILE__));

    add_submenu_page( __FILE__ , 'My custom submenu-1', 'My custom submenu-1', 'manage_options', 'sub-suge', 'my_custom_submenu_1');
    add_submenu_page( __FILE__ , 'My custom submenu-2', 'My custom submenu-2', 'manage_options', 'sub-page', 'my_custom_submenu_2');

    add_action( 'admin_init', 'my_custom_menu' );
}

My problem is when i create submenu for the above top main menu then it gives a top menu link in the position of the submenu, that means it gives 3 submenu include main menu link. Please see the below link example output.

Can anyone give any better solution for this?

Thanks in advance.

  1. You can achieve this by giving the top-level page (the add_menu_page() call) the same slug as the first submenu page. Then reference this slug in the first parameter of both add_submenu_page() calls.

    Here’s the code:

    add_menu_page( 
        'My custom menu Settings', 
        'My custom menu Settings', 
        'manage_options', 
        'sub-suge', 
        'my_custom_menu', 
        plugins_url( 'assets/images/test.png', __FILE__ ) 
    );
    
    add_submenu_page( 
        'sub-suge' , 
        'My custom submenu-1', 
        'My custom submenu-1', 
        'manage_options', 
        'sub-suge', 
        'my_custom_submenu_1' 
    );
    
    add_submenu_page( 
        'sub-suge' , 
        'My custom submenu-2', 
        'My custom submenu-2', 
        'manage_options', 
        'sub-page', 
        'my_custom_submenu_2' 
    );
