Admin Menu Editor tidies the WordPress admin menu for the people who use your site. Give menu items clearer names, hide the ones nobody needs and put the rest in the order that makes sense, then undo everything with one click.

  • One screen under Settings > Admin Menu Editor lists every top-level menu item and its submenu items.
  • Rename any item. Leave the label empty to keep the original. Update and comment counts stay next to renamed items.
  • Hide any item, including separators. Hidden items are only removed from the menu: nobody loses a capability, and anyone allowed to open a screen can still reach it by its address.
  • Reorder top-level items and the items inside each submenu with the arrow buttons or the position numbers.
  • Menus added later by other plugins keep their place next to the item they followed, so a new plugin never disappears.
  • The Settings menu and the editor page itself can never be hidden, so you cannot lock yourself out.
  • One-click reset back to the WordPress menu.
  • Stored per site; on a multisite network each site has its own menu.
