Admin Menu Manager

Admin Menu Manager Plugin

Manage the WordPress admin menu using a simple drag & drop interface.

At required we strive to create a great user experience. We thought about how to improve the WordPress admin and came to the conclusion that we need a better way to manage the core of the WordPress back-end: the admin menu.

This is our take on a simple, lightweight and unobtrusive WordPress admin menu manager. It works like a charm, doesn’t get in your way and doesn’t even require yet another settings page. So if you want a custom tailored admin menu for you or your clients, this plugin is perfect.

Pro tip: Admin Menu Manager works perfectly to get Jetpack out of the way.

You can drag menu items anywhere you want, even from the top level to a sub menu item and vice-versa. Isn’t that awesome?!

FAQ

What is the state of version 2.0?

Work was done on a major rewrite of the plugin to include many more features like

  • Completely remove (and restore) menu items
  • Edit existing menu items and their icons
  • Add custom items to the admin menu

An alpha version was released back in 2017. Right now, work has stalled due to lack of time and resources. If you want to help out, please get in touch with us!
