In my website dashboard i have to hide Media, Comments, Contact menu items for one user who has administrator role. I googled that I have to use remove_cap function, but couldn't find enough information even to start my task.
You can put something like this inside your functions.php. :
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'adjust_the_wp_menu', 999999 );
function adjust_the_wp_menu() {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
if($user && isset($user->user_login) && 'desired_user_login' == $user->user_login)
{
//Remove menu items from admin area
remove_menu_page( 'edit-comments.php' );//For comments
remove_menu_page( 'upload.php' );//For media
//Remove third party plugins admin menu items
remove_menu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=your_custom_post_slug' );//for custom posts
remove_menu_page( 'your_plugin_page_slug' );//for custom plugin's page
// do stuff
}
}
Not sure what is the Contact menu in your Wordpress. I guess it is added by some plugin. You can try to figure out it's slug & use it inside the code above.
Also note, that it will only hide the menu items. Pages itself will be still available if respective url is accessed directly. To prevent this you should manage user roles or put some conditional logic into your functions.php.

Ok, so I found this code, which I modified to suit my needs. Btw, I'm using WooCommerce, which explains the "wc" in some of the function calls:
//Add login/logout link to primary menu
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_loginout_link', 10, 2 );
function add_loginout_link( $items, $args ) {
if (is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'primary') {
$items .= '<li>Log Out</li>';
}
elseif (!is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'primary') {
$items .= '<li>Log In</li>';
}
return $items;
This adds the login/logout menu items, and they work fine. However, they're stuck at the end of the menu, at the moment. I'd like to be able to edit the position using the editor in wp-admin. The solution I thought of was to maybe just create login and logout pages, and use header location redirects with those lines of code in them to get to the proper URLs, but the issue I see with that is that there will always be a login item and logout, no matter what status the user is currently in. Would there maybe be a way to dynamically add a site-wide CSS rule to hide the opposite menu item, based on the log in status?
Or is there an easier way?
Not the best idea but you can try.
Create in wp-admin menu section new menu item like "Custom Link"
Log Out
http://www.example.com/account/customer-logout/
Log In
http://www.example.com/account/
And add a custom class to a WordPress menu item to manage visibility
For example, you will see "logged-in" class on the body of the page and hide "Log In" link or change it to "Account" with the same link.
I'm not sure if this is possible or advisable, but I'd like to have a top-level menu item on the sidebar in the admin dashboard that links to a specific page within wordpress for editing.
Maybe there's a better way of doing this... here's the functionality I'm after:
I have a page called "Upgrade Contents" where my client can edit the contents of their upgrade package sitewide. I'd like them to be able to edit this page directly from the admin dashboard, like a setting page. Problem is, I don't know how to add a link to edit this page to the admin AND I already have everything set up with ACF using this page.
Is adding a link easy to do or should I just scrap it and make a settings page for my theme and add THAT to the admin?
To add a link at the top level of the menu you can add an item to the global $menu array, like this:
function link_to_user_settings() {
global $menu;
$title = 'User Settings';
$url = 'URL_OF_YOUR_PAGE';
$position = 73;
$permission = 'read';
$icon = 'dashicons-admin-links';
$menu[$position] = array( $title, $permission, $url, '', 'menu-top', '', $icon );
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'link_to_user_settings' );
Change the variables accordingly to your needs.
The $position var is where you want the link to appear based on the default positions you can find at the add_menu_page() documentation (in my example 73 means after the Users menu item).
I want to restrict WooCommerce products, shop page and category pages to logged in users only.
I do not want to achieve it with any plugin.
Please let me know if anybody done it before with any hook/filter/action.
Or I have to make WooCommerce template pages and add condition over there.
If I was to do this I would hook into the init action that WordPress offers.
Then do something like this in your theme's functions.php file:
function woo_check_logged_in()
{
if ( (is_product() || is_shop() ) && is_user_logged_in() )
{
}
else
{
die("You must be logged in to view this page");
}
}
add_action('init', 'woo_check_logged_in');
I haven't tested this but I believe it should get you on the right path without having to use any plugins.
I want that in wp-admin will be only Posts, Pages and Settings, it's possible to remove al remaining Media, Plugins, Users, Tools etc.
This function remove only from dashboard remove_menu_page( 'upload.php' );
Remove that menus from $restricted, that you want to prevent.
function remove_menus () {
global $menu;
$restricted = array(__('Dashboard'), __('Posts'), __('Media'), __('Links'), __('Pages'), __('Appearance'), __('Tools'), __('Users'), __('Settings'), __('Comments'), __('Plugins'));
end ($menu);
while (prev($menu)){
$value = explode(' ',$menu[key($menu)][0]);
if(in_array($value[0] != NULL?$value[0]:"" , $restricted)){unset($menu[key($menu)]);}
}
}

Since WordPress 3.1 you can better use remove_menu_page()
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'prefix_remove_menu_pages' );
function prefix_remove_menu_pages() {
remove_menu_page('edit-comments.php');
remove_menu_page('upload.php');
remove_menu_page('tools.php');
// Remove any item you want
}
}
from the docs:
Please be aware that remove_menu_pages would not prevent a user from accessing
these screens directly. Removing a menu does not replace the need to
filter a user's permissions as appropriate.
And for submenu items:
To remove submenu items in the admin, use remove_submenu_page. Using
remove_menu_page() will not work for submenu items.
I thought this would be an easy thing but many hours have gone by and still no results.
I am creating a Wordpress plug-in that should only appear in the dashboard if the user is an admin. I wrapped my hooks in the is_admin() method, but when I log in as a user who is just a subscriber, I still see the menu.
Isn't it just that easy???
Here's a code except starting right below the comment section to register the plugin... everything not shown is just functions doing their job ...
if( is_admin ){
add_action('admin_menu', 'ppm_talentexpo_add_page');
add_action('admin_menu', 'ppm_expos_submenu');
} // end is_admin
function ppm_talentexpo_add_page() {
$mypage = add_menu_page('Talent Expo', 'Talent Expos', 2, 'ppmtalentexpo', 'jwg_talentexpo_options_main_page', '/wp-admin/images/media-button-music.gif' , 21);
add_action( "admin_print_scripts-$mypage", 'jwg_ppmtalentexpo_admin_head' );
} // end function
It looks like you left out the parentheses when calling is_admin in the conditional.
Try
if( is_admin() ){
add_action('admin_menu', 'ppm_talentexpo_add_page');
add_action('admin_menu', 'ppm_expos_submenu');
}
Also if you're not using an older WordPress install, add_menu_page allows you to specify a capability that WordPress will check for. This lets WordPress manage showing the item or not.
So you can define a custom capabilty (or reuse an existing one), and the menu should take care of itself.
add_action('admin_menu', 'ppm_talentexpo_add_page');
add_action('admin_menu', 'ppm_expos_submenu');
function ppm_talentexpo_add_page() {
$mypage = add_menu_page('Talent Expo', 'Talent Expos', 'my_custom_talent_expos_capability', 'ppmtalentexpo', 'jwg_talentexpo_options_main_page', '/wp-admin/images/media-button-music.gif' , 21);
add_action( "admin_print_scripts-$mypage", 'jwg_ppmtalentexpo_admin_head' );
}
