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.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”- 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.
When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”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.
When not to use it
Section titled “When not to use it”How to enable it
Section titled “How to enable it”- Activate your WP PowerSuite license.
- Go to WP PowerSuite -> Modules, enable Admin Menu Organizer.
- Open WP PowerSuite -> Menu Organizer.
- Drag items, edit visibility/icons, then click Save Changes.
- Use Refresh if prompted so the live sidebar matches the saved config.
How to test it
Section titled “How to test it”- 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.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- 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.
