Admin Menu Editor for WordPress

The plugin provides a few utility shortcodes. These are mainly intended to help with creating login/logout redirects, but you can also use them in posts and pages.

[ame-wp-admin] – URL of the WordPress dashboard (with a trailing slash).

[ame-home-url] – Site URL. Usually, this is the same as the URL in the “Site Address” field in Settings -> General.

[ame-user-info field="..."] – Information about the logged-in user. Parameters:

field – The part of user profile to display. Supported fields include: ID, user_login, display_name, locale, user_nicename, user_url, and so on.

placeholder – Optional. Text that will be shown if the visitor is not logged in.

encoding – Optional. How to encode or escape the output. This is useful if you want to use the shortcode in your own HTML or JS code. Supported values: auto (default), html, attr, js, none.

Notes

If you delete any of the default menus they will reappear after saving. This is by design. To get rid of a menu for good, either hide it or change it’s access permissions.

In the free version, it’s not possible to give a role access to a menu item that it couldn’t see before. You can only restrict menu access further.

In case of emergency, you can reset the menu configuration back to the default by going to http://example.com/wp-admin/?reset_admin_menu=1 (replace example.com with your site URL). You must be logged in as an Administrator to do this.
