Remove a top level admin menu: function custom_menu_page_removing() { remove_menu_page( $menu_slug ); } add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘custom_menu_page_removing’ ); To remove only certain menu items include only those you want to hide within the function. To remove menus for only certain users you may want to utilize current_user_can(). You can take a look at https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_menu_page
You can take away users’ capabilities with a plugin like User Role Editor, or programmatically. What you’ll need to do is collect a list of all your post types that appear in the Editor (Core has Post and Page; plugins and themes may add more) and then remove properties with a plugin. For example, you … Read more
First, create [all-capabilities] shortcode. Put this code in your theme’s functions.php: function wpse_all_capabilities() { $out=”<style> .flex-columns { column-count: 4; column-gap: 3em; column-rule: 1px solid #000; } </style>”; $out .= ‘<p class=”flex-columns”>’; $users = get_users(); foreach ( $users as $user ) { if ( $user->caps[‘administrator’] ) { $allcaps = array_keys( $user->allcaps ); foreach ( $allcaps as … Read more
you’re creating a function and just initializing a local scope variable that you overwrite it. here is a different approach: global $wp_roles; // global class wp-includes/capabilities.php $wp_roles->remove_cap( ‘administrator’, ‘manage_options’ ); _based on codex:remove_cap_ Edit: /** * Remove capability from admins. */ function wpcodex_set_capabilities() { // Get the role object. $admin = get_role( ‘administrator’ ); $admin->remove_cap( … Read more

All roles (usually) have read The same system manages both default and custom roles/capabilities, so there really should be … Read more
I believe your code is right. Try going to: ‘wp-admin/users.php’ manually to check if you have the privilege to do so. If my inkling is right, it’s just the $submenu item that is hidden. If you can access the list of users, try printing the global variable $submenu and see if ‘users.php’ is there.
Visitors have no capabilities. Not even the capability “read” which seems a bit odd to me.
the page you linked shows how to remove a capability from a role: global $wp_roles; // remove capability $cap from role $role $wp_roles->remove_cap( $role, $cap ); and an example would be: // for example $wp_roles->remove_cap( ‘subscriber’, ‘view_galleries’ ); or remove a capability from a specific user: // get the user by username say for example … Read more
