WordPress Hide Admin Menu

The WordPress Hide Admin Menu plugin lets you simplify and customize the WordPress admin menus, submenus and have a clean WordPress admin look. This may help you hide unneeded menus for your client as you don’t want them to access.

The plugin works with both standard and custom roles which may be added by using a WordPress plugin such as Members, User Role Editor. It also works with additional menus, submenus added by other plugins.

The Hide Admin Menu doesn’t leave messy options in your WordPress database. It uses only one option and this option will be deleted when uninstall plugin.

FAQ

Q: Why don’t I see checkboxes for some menus and roles?

A: That’s because these menus (or submenus) require higher capability of corresponding roles and they won’t be accessible by users with these roles. These menus (submenus) may be registered by WordPress or by plugins. The Hide Admin Menu doesn’t need to work in this case.

Q: Why do I still see the option when I already deactivated the plugin?

A: The menu option is deleted only when you uninstall plugin. This might help if you accidently deactivate the plugin, you won’t lose your data.
