Overview

About this plugin

The ELU Hide Admin Menu plugin helps you hide admin menu and admin bar items in WordPress admin area based on user role. Simply select the checkboxes corresponding to menu items and user role and Save. You’ll have a simplified menu for your clients and users.

That will help you hide some important menu items that you don’t want them to access, like settings page, account detail page, etc.

This plugin has a friendly interface and very easy to use. Everything is simple and you can understand all the functionality within 5 minutes!

The ELU Hide Admin Menu plugin works well with custom user roles and menu items added by other plugins and compatible with WordPress Multisite.

Features

  • Ability to hide items in admin menu and admin bar.
  • Customizable by user role, including Administrator. Works with custom user roles.
  • Works with menu items added by other plugins.
  • Ability to export and import settings.
  • Works in Multisite mode. Setup for whole network only ONCE. You don’t need to go to each blog admin page to setup the plugin anymore.

User roles / capabilities

Please note that the plugin does not alter or create user roles or capabilities. It simply uses the user roles as conditions to hide the admin menu / admin bar items.

It’s recommended to use a role management plugin (like Members ) to create roles and then use this plugin to control the menu visibility.

Warning: Be careful if you hide menus from administrators. You’ll loose access to these menus. If you want to block access to certain menu items for other administrators, please create another role and move those users to that role.

Then use the plugin to hide menus from them.
