Admin Menu Editor

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.

Quick Drafts Access

By default in WordPress, accessing the drafts listing of any given post type (including posts and pages) in the admin requires multiple clicks. Then filtering the drafts listing by a particular user (generally to view only your drafts) additionally requires some non-obvious manual URL hacking. This plugin allows you one click access to all drafts, as well as to just your drafts, of each post type via the main admin menu. In addition, the plugin provides a count of the number of current drafts for that post type in the link (i.e. the link could read “All Drafts (3)” to indicate there are three drafts for that post type, and “My Drafts (1)” to indicate you only have one draft for that post type). When the user is responsible for all of the drafts of a given post type (and the “My Drafts” link is not disabled via a hook) then only the “My Drafts” links will appear. It would be redundant to show both the “All Drafts” and “My Drafts” links in this situation. This behavior also ensures only one link is present for single-author blogs. Also, the draft link(s) only appear for users who have the capability to edit posts of that post type. The plugin hides the two types of draft links when no related drafts for that post type are present. See the Filters section for how to override this behavior. Filters are also provided to disable the plugin from ever showing the “All Drafts” or the “My Drafts” links. On admin listings of only draft posts, this plugin also adds a dropdown above the table that allows for the listing to be filtered by the selected draft author. (Only users who actually have a draft post are included in the dropdown.) Links: Plugin Homepage | Plugin Directory Page | GitHub | Author Homepage Developer Documentation Developer documentation can be found in DEVELOPER-DOCS.md. That documentation covers the numerous hooks provided by the plugin. Those hooks are listed below to provide an overview of what’s available. c2c_quick_drafts_access_post_types : Customize the list of post_types for which the draft links will be shown c2c_quick_drafts_access_show_all_drafts_menu_link : Customize whether the ‘All Drafts’ link will appear at all for a post type. c2c_quick_drafts_access_show_my_drafts_menu_link : Customize whether the ‘My Drafts’ link will appear at all for a post type. c2c_quick_drafts_access_show_if_empty : Customize whether the ‘All Drafts’ and/or ‘My Drafts’ links will appear for a post type when that post type currently has no drafts. c2c_quick_drafts_access_disable_filter_dropdown : removal of the ‘Drafts By’ dropdown from drafts post list table.
