Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Hide Dashboard

Upload the entire wp-hide-dashboard folder to that directory. Activate the plugin through the Plugins section in WordPress. That's it - no configuration necessary. If installing the plugin in the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory:

Upload the wp-hide-dashboard.php file to the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory. The plugin will automatically run � there is no activation or configuration needed.

I removed support for menu items for roles other than Subscriber. WP Hide Dashboard is a simple plugin, and was built for the Subscriber role. While I appreciate that some users need this type of functionality for other roles, most don't require it, so I don't want to bloat the plugin with unnecessary code for the majority of users. If you need to hide admin sidebar menu links from roles other than Subscriber, I recommend using the Admin Menu Editor plugin to accomplish that goal. Currently it only removes links in the admin sidebar menu. The plugin author has indicated they may add support for removing admin bar menu links in a future version.

A. Sorry, I no longer support this plugin working for any role other than Subscriber.
