Recently i have installed two plugins in my site. The plugins generate two admin menu. I wanna hide these menu.
Menu name are :
WP Metaboxer Mouse hover link (mysite.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=mtbxr_metabox)
BWS Plugins Mouse hover link (mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bws_plugins)
I can hide other default menu by these code
function remove_admin_menu_items() {
$remove_menu_items = array(__('Media'),__('Links'), __('Comments'), __('Tools'), __('Appearance'), __('Posts'),__('Settings'),__('Plugins')));
global $menu;
end ($menu);
while (prev($menu)){
$item = explode(' ',$menu[key($menu)][0]);
if(in_array($item[0] != NULL?$item[0]:"" , $remove_menu_items)){
unset($menu[key($menu)]);}
}
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_admin_menu_items');
add the following at the bottom of remove_admin_menu_items:
remove_menu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=mtbxr_metabox' );
remove_menu_page( 'admin.php?page=bws_plugins' );
then change the priority of your action to run last:
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_admin_menu_items', 9999);
Thank you for the answer. I had the same issues.
To remove a plugin menu item, just by name you can check the structure of the URL.
For instance, Visual Composer has: /admin.php?page=vc-general
remove_menu_page( 'vc-general' );
remove_menu_page( 'revslider' );
remove_menu_page( 'bws_plugins' );
Some Plugins add the menu item as submenu items, so you have to use the following function.
remove_submenu_page( 'options-general.php', 'disable-emails' );
here the WP-Reference for both functions:

i want to remove an menu item from admin bar , tried the following code
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_admin_menu_items', 999 );
function remove_admin_menu_items() {
remove_menu_page('admin.php?page=litespeed&LSCWP_CTRL=purge&LSCWP_NONCE=ccd23d492e&litespeed_type=purge_all_lscache' );
}
unfortunately it doesn't work ! I have attached a screenshot of menu I want to remove
I like to hide the menu using the child theme function.php code.
Plugin author posts the following:
The best way to hide our menu is by CSS. For top icon in adminbar, use
.litespeed-top-toolbar {display:none}. It can be done by using 3rd party plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-admin-css/ or
add_action('admin_head', 'hide_litespeed_icon');
function hide_litespeed_icon() {
echo '<style>.litespeed-top-toolbar {display:none}</style>';
}
into your theme’s functions.php
Alternatively, try adding the following code to functions.php:
function remove_lscwp_admin_menu($wp_admin_bar) {
$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('litespeed-menu');
}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'remove_lscwp_admin_menu', 999);
I added a custom logout link to my WP admin menu, but instead of appearing as a top-level menu item, it is displayed as a submenu item (smaller font size, left padding). The link itself works perfectly though. Any ideas how the code can be changed? Thanks!
current admin menu
The code I use is from this thread.
add_action('admin_init', 'text_domain_logout_link');
function text_domain_logout_link() {
global $menu;
$menu[9999] = array(__('Logout'), 'manage_options', wp_logout_url());
}
Can you try this?:
add_action('admin_menu', 'text_domain_logout_link');
function text_domain_logout_link() {
global $menu;
$menu[9999] = array(__('Logout'), 'manage_options', wp_logout_url());
}
Tested and works on my wordpress
Updated:
If you want to show it to top-level then use this code:
add_action('admin_menu', 'text_domain_logout_link');
function text_domain_logout_link() {
global $menu;
$menu[9999] = array(__('Logout'), 'manage_options', wp_logout_url());
// add class
$menu[9999][4] = "menu-top toplevel_page_menu";
// Add Icon
$menu[9999][6] = "dashicons-update";
}
So it will look like this:
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' == $user->user_login)
{
//Remove menu items from admin area
remove_menu_page( 'edit-comments.php' );//For comments
remove_menu_page( 'upload.php' );//For media
//Remove third party plugins admin menu items
remove_menu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=your_custom_post_slug' );//for custom posts
remove_menu_page( 'your_plugin_page_slug' );//for custom plugin's page
// do stuff
}
}
Not sure what is the Contact menu in your Wordpress. I guess it is added by some plugin. You can try to figure out it's slug & use it inside the code above.
Also note, that it will only hide the menu items. Pages itself will be still available if respective url is accessed directly. To prevent this you should manage user roles or put some conditional logic into your functions.php.
I have an elegant theme installed in my Wordpress website, and I am wondering how i can hide or remove the shortcode buttons in the tinymce (thing) that are generated by the Elegant Theme (admin area WP). I have been trying to look up the action hook and remove it and also play with the CSS of the buttons, but nothing helped. any idea's on how to remove these small buttons from the backend of my WP website?
This is the related code I've found:
add_filter('mce_buttons', 'et_filter_mce_button');
add_filter('mce_external_plugins', 'et_filter_mce_plugin');
function et_filter_mce_button($buttons) {
array_push( $buttons, '|', 'et_learn_more', 'et_box', 'et_button', 'et_tabs', 'et_author' );
return $buttons;
}
Create a plugin and remove the filters:
<?php
/**
* Plugin Name: Remove ET MCE Buttons
*/
add_action( 'admin_init', 'remove_et_so_19084867' );
function remove_et_so_19084867() {
remove_filter( 'mce_buttons', 'et_filter_mce_button' );
remove_filter( 'mce_external_plugins', 'et_filter_mce_plugin' );
}
A user from the Elegant Themes forum referenced this post: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/103347/removing-buttons-from-the-editor and said:
Place the following code in your child theme functions.php:
// HIDE TINYMCE CUSTOM BUTTONS
function tinymce_editor_buttons($buttons) {
return array();
}
function tinymce_editor_buttons_second_row($buttons) {
return array();
}
add_filter("mce_buttons", "tinymce_editor_buttons", 99);
add_filter("mce_buttons_2", "tinymce_editor_buttons_second_row", 99);
This removes all buttons inserted by Divi and other plugins. If you need to keep any buttons you can include the corresponding ID inside of return array();. Also, if you're using the plugin TinyMCE Advanced, the standard buttons stay in place anyway.
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.
