Cannot Hide Main Menu Items – submenus ok

    Hi, I’m using this on a multisite installation and it is working great to hide submenu items (ie -settings-permalinks) from all but super_admins,
    but i can’t hide the main entry (settings), or any of the main entries.
    when set to “required capability=super_admin” the main menu entries still appear for all levels of users.
    same result when trying other high level required capabilites.

    is this by design, or a possible bug?
    thank you.

    To hide a top level menu, you’ll need to hide all of its submenu items first. This is just how WordPress works – as long as a top level menu has at least one visible submenu, WP will keep that main menu visible regardless of settings.

    Ah, that makes perfect sense and it works great.
    thanks for the help and the awesome plugin!
