How Can I remove or hide the export page in WordPress menu?

Whenever in doubt about a WordPress function, consult the Codex: Function_Reference/remove_menu_page. The correct function is remove_submenu_page hooked into admin_menu. add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘remove_submenu_wpse_82873’ ); function remove_submenu_wpse_82873() { global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); // If user not Super Admin remove export page if ( !is_super_admin() ) { remove_submenu_page( ‘tools.php’, ‘export.php’ ); } } And then you’d probably would like … Read more

Order Admin sub-menu items?

The filter ‘custom_menu_order’ will not work on the menu order because apply_filters in wp-admin/includes/menu.php supplies false as the filtered content. You can try changing false to $menu and the filter works grand. Since we obviously can’t touch the core, here’s how I got it to work: function custom_menu_order(){ global $submenu; $find_page=”edit.php”; $find_sub = ‘Post Tags’; … Read more

List table not rendering when $this->items is filled

I did same error first time I implemented WP_List_Table. The problem is that when you call WP_List_Table::display() WordPress in turn calls: WP_List_Table::display_rows_or_placeholder() WP_List_Table::display_rows() WP_List_Table::single_row() WP_List_Table::single_row_columns() Last function is called for every row. If you look at its code (see source), it has: if ( ‘cb’ == $column_name ) { // you don’t have ‘cb’ column, … Read more

Add visit site to your toolbar instead of being in the dropdown

Not complicated, but a little tricky to get timing right. Something like this should work, but you might need to experiment with priority to get the link to specific position on the bar: add_action( ‘admin_bar_menu’, function ( $wp_admin_bar ) { if ( ! is_admin() ) { return; } /** @var WP_Admin_Bar $wp_admin_bar */ $wp_admin_bar->remove_node( ‘view-site’ … Read more

remove_menu_page doesn’t work on custom plugin menus

Place this below temporary code in your functions.php or any where that can be executed. add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘the_dramatist_debug_admin_menu’ ); function the_dramatist_debug_admin_menu() { echo ‘<pre>’ . print_r( $GLOBALS[ ‘menu’ ], TRUE) . ‘</pre>’; } Then search for the plugin-slug. In which array you find it copy the [2] value and put it in remove_menu_page(‘the [2] value’) … Read more

Add update notification bubble to admin menu item?

I would do this when you call add_options_page(), not later. It’s always better to do this with the supported API instead of playing with the internal structures. The plugin updater periodically checks the plugin status and then saves the result in a transient. This means that it only reads this cached status when the menu … Read more

Add an admin page, but don’t show it on the admin menu

Use a submenu page as parent slug. The admin menu has just two levels, so the imaginary third level will be hidden. Sample code, tested: add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘wpse_73622_register_hidden_page’ ); function wpse_73622_register_hidden_page() { add_submenu_page( ‘options-writing.php’, ‘Hidden!’, ‘Hidden!’, ‘exists’, ‘wpse_73622’, ‘wpse_73622_render_hidden_page’ ); # /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpse_73622 } function wpse_73622_render_hidden_page() { echo ‘<p>hello world</p>’; }
