Drag admin menu items into the order your team works, rename them, hide the ones they don’t need, and control which roles can see each page.

About Menu Editor

Overview

Every plugin adds a top-level menu item, so the sidebar grows to thirty entries. Clients can’t find Pages, and editors can open screens they shouldn’t touch.

Plan: Free. Everything on this page is in the free plugin.

Setup

  1. Go to WP Extended in your WordPress admin and find Menu Editor under Admin Tools.
  2. Switch Menu Editor on.
  3. There is nothing to configure. The module works as soon as it is on.

Questions and troubleshooting

Is Menu Editor free?

Yes. It is in the free plugin.

Is hiding a menu item the same as blocking access?

Hiding removes it from the menu. Role restrictions also block the page itself, including when someone types its URL.

Can it edit my site’s navigation menus?

Menu Editor works on the admin sidebar. For the menus visitors see, use Menu Visibility and Duplicate Menu: see all three WordPress menu tools.

It isn’t working as expected

Check the module is switched on and its settings are saved. If another plugin does the same job, deactivate one of them. Then clear any page cache and test again. Still stuck? Pro customers can contact support; free users can post on the WordPress.org forum.
