Admin Menu Separator

Admin Menu Separator adds visual divider lines to the WordPress admin sidebar menu, helping you organize menu items into logical groups. Insert separators between related sections like content management, e-commerce, and settings to make the menu easier to scan. This is particularly useful on sites with many plugins that each add their own menu items, creating a cluttered sidebar that becomes hard to navigate. Separators provide visual breathing room and help users quickly locate the section they need. The module integrates with Admin Menu Organizer so you can combine custom ordering with visual grouping for a fully optimized admin experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I add separators?

You can add separators between any top-level menu items. Drag and drop the separator to position it exactly where you want the visual break.

Can I customize how the separator looks?

Separators use a subtle line that matches WordPress admin styling. The appearance is designed to look native and professional without being distracting.

Do separators affect which users see which menu items?

No, separators are purely visual. They do not hide or restrict access to any menu items. Use Admin Menu Organizer to control visibility per role.
