Lets any Administrator simplify the WordPress Admin interface, on a per-user basis, by turning specific menu/submenu sections off.
Lets any Administrator simplify the WordPress Admin interface, on a per-user basis. Hide any specific menu or submenu (including in the admin bar) or hide the admin bar entirely.
Installation
Install User Admin Simplifier either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server
That’s it. You’re ready to go! To edit your users menus, go to Tools->User Admin Simplifier
Submenus are now available for disabling. Note that disabling a top level menu removes it, no submenu items will be available. On the other hand, disabling all submenu items does not disable the top level menu.
Unininstalling and deleting the plugin will remove all of its settings.
Screenshots
Choose a user to edit their menus
Check the menu section to disable. Click 'Save Changes' to apply your settings. Click 'Clear User Settings' to reset the disabled menus for the selected user.
FAQ
Yes! In a multisite install, User Admin Simplifier works as follows:
- plugin works on a per site/user basis
- logging into dashboard for a specific site and visiting the plugin admin only shows the users with access to that site
- restricting menus for users works as expected and disables menus for user on that site only
- disabling menus for a user only affects current site. user’s menus remain unaffected in other sites
