Admin Module

Hide Admin Menu Items

Hide Admin Menu Items lets you selectively remove specific menu items from the WordPress admin sidebar. Remove menus users should not access, hide features that cause confusion, or simplify the admin for clients who do not need full visibility. Unlike role capability management, this purely hides menus without changing what users can actually do. Perfect for white-labeling where clients should not see certain WordPress features even if they technically have access.
