NOT apply customization to role Administrator

    I posted this question in “Menus hidden by User Roles?” but as it has been resolved previously I thought I’d make a fresh thread:

    Is there any way I can modify so that any back-end customization I make using White Label CMS are NOT applied to ME as administrator?

    What I am trying to achieve is to allow my Vendor Admins to have a simplified version of the back-end, while I want to keep full features for myself as website Administrator. I don’t mind if any of the other user roles are affected or not.

    I have searched through plenty of plug-ins for this but I think you have a really good set up here – and I have not yet found any solution for this with other plug-ins.
    Closest one I found is Adminimize, but it seems to work more on capabilities than CSS, and I find your CSS override tool to be just what I need – if only I could avoid to hide the elements for myself as Administrator in the process.

    Thanks for your feedback!

    Hi Robin,

    The White Label CMS admin was introduced exactly for you to be able to try and solve this problem.

    Can you please give me a specific example, and I can run you through how I think it can be achieved.

    Hopefully, we can help.

    Thanks

    Hi Brian!

    Happy to hear that ?? It is working perfectly for cases where I can e.g. remove entire menu elements, but when I want to hide something more detailed or specific such as in the linked image (minorMod.png), the changes I make using this tool (see overrideTool) are affecting me as an Administrator as well. It would be perfect if I could use this tool to clean up also these minor elements all over the place by just calling their #’s.
    Perhaps I am just inexperienced though but I haven’t found any other method to do this. Any advice?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Actually, we may have a solution to this in the next release, we will add class to the body to indicate if you are a White Label CMS admin, and you will be able to modify the CSS as you want to hide things like this.

    Thanks

    That’s fantastic – any indication on when this release will appear? I am on the verge of hiring custom development for this task if no other solution is available.

    Hi Robin,

    The latest version adds a CSS class to the body, so you should be able to use that to achieve what you want.

    Hi – thanks for the swift replies!

    It seems to be on the right track definitely. I find it successfully hides e.g. a menu item (Bookings from WooCommerce) on the left sidebar:

    #menu-posts-wc_booking{
    display: none;
    }

    while my Vendor Admin is in the Panel view, whilst still showing the item for me as Administrator, Yay!

    Strangely however, if I enter another menu item with my Vendor Admin, e.g. Products, then this very Bookings menu item is back again in the sidebar!

    It is still hidden if I go back to the Panel view though, so it seems that whatever update was made, it is not being applied to every view – only the Panel view as far as I can tell.

    Hope that makes sense, and that it could be an easy fix! ??

    Best,
    Robin
