Wordpress Theme Option page

Hi,

I have a problem with this code:

function register_my_custom_menu_page() {
    add_menu_page( 'Slim option', 'Slim option', 'manage_options', get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/admin/theme-admin.php', '', get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/img/icon.png', 99 );
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'register_my_custom_menu_page' );

I am working local with Mamp and i get this output: http://localhost/localhost/slim/wp-content/themes/slim/assets/admin/theme-admin.php

I use the same method with all my css files with out any problems.

I've never seen it do that before. Is it outputting the same when you call it the second time for you .png file?

have you tried using get_stylesheet_directory_uri() instead just to see what you get (assuming you don't have child theme for this theme active)

I have tried with it too, with the same result. I think maybe it's something with my MAMP settings.

Have you tried not using get_template_directory_uri() at all and just use the relative path?

Is this code in functions.php or a plugin folder?

The relative path goes til wp-admin/.

This is in functions.php
