Admin Menu Editor vs Collapsing Pages

Admin Menu Editor lets you manually edit the Dashboard menu. You can reorder the menus, show/hide specific items, change permissions, and more. Features Change menu titles, URLs, icons, CSS classes and so on. Organize menu items via drag & drop. Change menu permissions by setting the required capability or role. Move a menu item to a different submenu. Create custom menus that point to any part of the Dashboard or an external URL. Hide/show any menu or menu item. A hidden menu is invisible to all users, including administrators. The Pro version lets you set per-role menu permissions, hide a menu from everyone except a specific user, export your admin menu, drag items between menu levels, make menus open in a new window and more. Try online demo. Additional Features Despite the name, this plugin is not limited to just editing the admin menu. You can also: Create login redirects and logout redirects. 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.

This is a very simple plugin that uses Javascript to form a collapsable set of links in the sidebar for the pages. Every page corresponding to a given parent page will be expanded. It is largely based off of my Collapsing Pages and Collapsing Pages plugins. What’s new? 2.0.3 (2024.01.01) Fixed issue with subsubpages not closing correctly Got rid of some more warnings Tested with 6.4.2 2.0.2 (2023.12.01) Got rid of some warnings Updated deprecated property __experimentalGroup Tested with 6.4.1 2.0.1 (2023.06.16) Bug fixes 2.0.0 (2023.03.17) Updated to use Gutenberg block 1.0.1 (2016.05.09) Fixed bug where sometimes setting accordion to false broke javascript 1.0 (2015.08.12) Compatible with WordPress 4.3 Fixed bug where expanding symbol showed up at lowest depth specified instead (thanks to tkibler for pointing it out) Added option to only display pages of the current subpage Added option to show top-level page (previously it was always shown) Added accordion style option Cleaned up widget settings improved style management, including the ability to specify style per widget Switched from unicode symbols to html entities Not showing tags for title if empty Fixed bug with title attribute of pages Totally rewrote javascript Options If using the manual version, you can pass options either as an array, or using the query style, just like for other wordpress functions such as wp_list_pages $defaults=array( 'title' => __('Pages', 'collapsing-pages'), 'sortOrder'=> 'ASC' , 'sort'=> 'pageName' , 'defaultExpand'=> '', 'expand' => 0, 'depth' =>-1, 'inExcludePage' => 'exclude', 'linkToPage' => true, 'inExcludePages' => '', 'showPosts' => false, 'animate' => 0, 'useCookies' => true, 'postTitleLength' => 0, 'showTopLevel' => true, 'currentPageOnly' => false, 'debug' => false, ); inExcludePage Whether to include or exclude certain pages ‘exclude’ (default) ‘include’ inExcludePages The pages which should be included or excluded showPosts Whether or not to include posts as well as pages. Default if false linkToPage True, clicking on a parent page title will link to that page (default) False, clicking on a parent page will expand to show sub-pages sort How to sort the pages. Possible values: ‘pageName’ the title of the page (default) ‘pageId’ the Id of the page ‘pageSlug’ the url of the page ‘menuOrder’ custom order specified in the pages settings sortOrder Whether pages should be sorted in normal or reverse order. Possible values: ‘ASC’ normal order (a-z 0-9) (default) ‘DESC’ reverse order (z-a 9-0) expand The symbols to be used to mark expanding and collapsing. Possible values: ‘0’ Triangles (default) ‘1’ + – ‘2’ [+] [-] ‘3’ images (you can upload your own if you wish) ‘4’ custom symbols customExpand If you have selected ‘4’ for the expand option, this character will be used to mark expandable link categories customCollapse If you have selected ‘4’ for the expand option, this character will be used to mark collapsible link categories postTitleLength Truncate post titles to this number of characters (default: 0 = don’t truncate) animate When set to true, collapsing and expanding will be animated useCookies When true, expanding and collapsing of pages is remembered for each visitor. When false, pages are always display collapsed (unless explicitly set to auto-expand). Possible values: true (default) false showTopLevel True – show top level pages (default) False – only display sub-pages and below currentPageOnly True – show only parent and sub pages of the current page False – show all pages (subject to the include or exclude parameters set) (default) debug When set to true, extra debugging information will be displayed in the underlying code of your page (but not visible from the browser). Use this option if you are having problems Examples collapsPage('animate=true&sort=ASC&expand=3,inExcludePages=about') This will produce a list with: * animation on * shown in alphabetical order * using images to mark collapsing and expanding * exclude page about Demo I use this plugin in my blog at http://blog.robfelty.com CAVEAT Currently this plugin relies on Javascript to expand and collapse the links. If a user’s browser doesn’t support javascript they won’t see the links to the posts, but the links to the pages will still work (which is the default behavior in wordpress anyways)
