What Is WP Admin Menu Manager?
WP Admin Menu Manager is developed by CodeCanyon and is an administration plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the administration category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for backend dashboard control and customization.
The plugin solves the problem of cluttered WordPress admin menus by letting you customize every item’s visibility, label, and position. It is designed for developers and agencies who want to streamline the dashboard experience for their clients or specific user roles.
WP Admin Menu Manager Features
The plugin provides complete visual control over the WordPress admin sidebar without writing code.
Hide Menu and Submenu Items
You can selectively hide any top-level admin menu item or submenu entry from view. This is useful for removing plugin menus that clients don’t need to access or hiding advanced settings that could break the site. The changes apply to the menu display without deleting the underlying functionality, making it one of the strongest tools in the WordPress administration category for white-labeling.
Rename and Reorder Admin Menus
The plugin allows you to change the display names of any menu or submenu item to match your project’s terminology or language. You can also drag-and-drop menu items to reorder them, prioritizing the sections your clients use most frequently while pushing technical settings to the bottom or hiding them entirely.
Custom Menu Icons
Change the icons for any admin menu item using the WordPress Dashicons library or custom icon classes. This helps create a branded, cohesive dashboard experience where menu visuals match your client’s corporate identity or the specific function of custom post types.

WP Admin Menu Manager Use Cases
Agencies White-Labeling Client Sites
Development agencies use the plugin to remove plugin advertising menus, hide settings that clients shouldn’t touch, and rename items to match the client’s business terminology. This creates a polished, branded admin experience that looks professional and reduces support requests, making it one of the strongest tools in the WordPress administration category.
Simplifying Dashboards for Content Teams
Multi-author publications and membership sites use Menu Manager to strip away technical menus like Tools, Settings, or Plugin pages, showing only Posts, Media, and Pages to content creators. This reduces confusion and prevents accidental changes to site configuration while keeping writers focused on content production.
Developers Managing Multiple Sites
Developers managing dozens of client sites can deploy consistent menu configurations across all installations. A WPExclusive membership eliminates per-site licensing costs, allowing you to standardize the admin experience without purchasing individual licenses for every WordPress instance.
