WordPress Block Plugins
Admin Menu Maestro
Orchestrate your WordPress admin menus by editing them in place. Rename, reorder, swap icons, and hide items per role, right on the menu.
Edit WordPress Admin Menus In Place
Admin Menu Maestro turns the WordPress admin menu itself into the editor: toggle Edit Menu from the admin bar, then rename items, drag them into a new order, swap top-level icons, and hide items for selected roles without leaving the menu.
The configuration is global and sparse — a delta layered over the menu WordPress already builds each load — with debounced autosave, no separate settings screen, and a clear warning that per-role hiding is cosmetic menu decluttering, not access control.
