Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Maestro: The Inline Admin Menu Editor

No — and this is important. Hiding an item is cosmetic: it removes the link from the admin menu but does not stop anyone from reaching the page by typing or bookmarking its URL. Real access is governed by each page's registered capability. To actually block a page, use a capability manager such as User Role Editor or PublishPress Capabilities.

Everyone. Maestro stores one global configuration that applies to all users; it

but the rename/reorder/icon changes themselves are global.

Yes. Role visibility includes the administrator role, so you can declutter an admin's menu — remembering that this is cosmetic, not a permission change.

Yes. Any role registered on the site — including custom roles from User Role Editor, Members, and similar plugins — appears automatically in the visibility control.

Yes. You can select, rename, reorder (Alt+Arrow), open the icon and visibility controls, and reset items without a mouse. Saves and moves are announced to screen readers.

The admin menu returns to exactly what WordPress and your active plugins generate. Your customizations live in a single option as a sparse delta; Reset all deletes that option, and deactivating the plugin stops it from being applied.

Not yet. Reparenting is deliberately deferred (see "Known limits" below). Top-level items reorder among top-level items, and submenu items reorder within their current parent.
