I have a weird problem with one of my custom post type that doesn't show in left sidebar admin menu.
I declared 5 custom post types but the fifth doesn't show in left menu. Here it's the Clients post type that doesn't show. I made a lot of search about this, without success.
Thanks a lot for your help !

Creating menu –add_action('admin_menu', 'custom_menu'); add_action('admin_menu', 'custom_menu'); In above line of code, first parameter is the hook we discuss about, Second parameter is name of callback function. In callback function you have to write what you want to alter in admin menu.
Expand For Archives > Archive Type, tick on As Sidebar for selected Archive Types and choose Category Archive , where Category is the name of your custom post type's category.
This case does not seem to be the same, but one reason for not showing in the left admin menu is the length of the name of the post type is longer than 20 characters Function Reference/register post type
In my case I was able to see the custom post type in the left side bar as administrator but the authors could not. What I had to change was the capability_type from page to post since that's what authors are enabled to by default.
'capability_type' => 'post'
This line goes in the in the $args array of the definition of the post type.
