Allow/deny access to specific posts based on user roles. Hide plugins on the Plugins -> Installed Plugins page from other users. Edit the display name, description, and other plugin details shown on the Plugins -> Installed Plugins page (e.g. for white-labelling). Shortcodes 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.

Admin Starred Posts lets you mark posts, pages and custom posts within the WordPress admin with stars. This helps you highlight a post, or mark it so you remember is important. For example, you might have tons of pages, but are always editing one or two. In that case, star those pages, and they’ll be easily recognizable in your list of posts. If you’ve used Gmail before, you’re very familiar with this feature. Similar to that email client, this plugin let’s you click on a star in your list of posts, pages and custom posts to ‘star’ it. The plugin works out of the box, but you also get some configuration options to help you customize it to your workflow. Configuration Options Rotate between 12 different “stars” Drag and set the orders of your stars Enable/disable this feature for any post type in your WordPress install Decide whether you want stars to be visible to every one, or in a per user basis. Other Features You can display only starred posts by using the “Stars” filter available at the top of the posts list. This plugin requires WordPress 3.8 or higher
