Admin Menu Organizer

Admin Menu Organizer reshapes the left dashboard menu so it matches how your team works - reorder, rename, hide by role, or add custom links.

  • Opens a dedicated Menu Organizer page under WP PowerSuite.
  • Drag-and-drop top-level and nested submenu items, then Save Changes.
  • Edit icons (Dashicon class or image URL), titles, and visibility rules.
  • Hide modes: Collapse under “Show All” or Remove from menu, including Hide for Specific Role(s).
  • Add Menu Item with Title, URL / Menu Slug, Icon, Roles (All Roles or Specific Role(s)), and Open in New Tab.
  • Restore Defaults clears customizations; soft-hidden items can reappear via Show All / Show Less.
  • Requires an active license; hooks do not apply without one.

Enable it if:

  • Client sites should hide developer tools from editors.
  • Agencies want a branded, shorter sidebar for day-to-day work.
  • You need custom external links or separators in the admin menu.
  1. Activate your WP PowerSuite license.
  2. Go to WP PowerSuite -> Modules, enable Admin Menu Organizer.
  3. Open WP PowerSuite -> Menu Organizer.
  4. Drag items, edit visibility/icons, then click Save Changes.
  5. Use Refresh if prompted so the live sidebar matches the saved config.
  • Reorder two top-level items, save, and reload wp-admin.
  • ✅ Pass: order matches the organizer.
  • Hide an item with Remove from menu for a non-admin role; log in as that role.
  • ✅ Pass: item is gone (and restricted screens stay blocked when configured).
  • Click Restore Defaults, confirm, and reload.
  • ✅ Pass: WordPress default menu order returns.
  • ❌ Fail: confirm license is active and Save Changes succeeded.
  • Activate license notice. Open WP PowerSuite -> License and activate, then reload Menu Organizer.
  • Changes not visible. Click Save Changes, then Refresh / hard-reload wp-admin.
  • Hidden item still accessible by URL. Soft hide (Collapse under “Show All”) only tucks the item; use Remove from menu when you need stricter hiding.
