Move admin Menus to top leval

  • I’m quite new to wordpress and there are many things i like with this system, but one thing that puzzles me is the admin menu.
    I want to be the main Administrator of the sites i build and then give the clients a role of eg. Editor, but i wanna give the clients the ability to edit the menu and also i would like to remove some of the menu items that i find irrelevant for the client.
    i know about the:
    $role_object = get_role( ‘editor’ );
    $role_object->add_cap( ‘edit_theme_options’ );
    and this will give the client access to the menu, but it is submenu under the Appearance, instead i would like to have Menus as a top menu. i found a nice script that does that here https://css-tricks.com/forums/topic/rearranging-the-wordpress-admin-menu/ but this only works for Administrator role, when i log in as Editor i can see the menu.
    Does anyone have a solution to this?

  • Dear Cyberish,

    There is a popular plugin for this called User Role Editor. Maybe that can be of help to you?

    You can even create new roles and adjust all sorts of capabilities as this is quite flexible.

    Hope this helps. If it does, please mark this topic as resolved.

    Kind regards,

    Thanks for the replay CS_WordPress

    i have tried that plugin but it didn’t solve my issue, i didn’t try the pro version though, and reading about the extended features of User Role Editor doesn’t indicate that it will solve my issue. I would like to fix this problem without adding another plugin.

    Dear Cyberish,

    If you do not want to use another plugin I do not really think it is possible. The things you want to do are quite advanced and plugins would be suitable for that.

    By default, the way roles and capabilities are setup in WordPress do not allow for the things you are trying to do.

    Maybe contacting the support team of the User Role Editor plugin may help you, at least they can tell you whether or not the things you try to do are possible within their configuration.

    Sorry I cannot be of anymore help here…

    Kind regards,

    Dear Cyberish,

    Just wanted to follow up on this as I came across something that might help you, which is this plugin called ‘Admin Menu Editor‘.

    You can actually demo this plugin to see if it suits your needs…

    Kind regards,

    Yes i tried that one as well but it could not give access rights for anyone but the main administrator. So i have actually given up on this one.
