Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Simplify Admin Menus

Yes, you can customize which menu items are visible for each user role independently.

Yes. Select the user and set that item to Show. User Show overrides role hiding. Inherit follows the role; Hide forces the item hidden. Important: Show only unhides items WordPress already allows for that user. It cannot grant capabilities. For example, Appearance, Plugins, and Users normally require Administrator capabilities, so showing them for an Editor will have no effect.

Protected administrators always see the full admin menu and admin bar, even if the Administrator role has items hidden. Only users in that list are exempt — network/super admin status alone does not bypass restrictions. The first administrator is protected by default. You can manage the list under Protected administrators on the settings page.

No. This plugin only hides menu and admin bar items in the interface. It does not change capabilities or block direct URL access.

No, this plugin only modifies the admin interface and admin bar. It does not affect your website's front-end appearance.
