Hide any specific menu or submenu (including in the admin bar) or hide the admin bar entirely. #### Menu control modes User Admin Simplifier offers three menu control modes: * **Per-user only** – the default mode. Configure menu, submenu, and admin bar visibility for each individual user. This is the original behavior and is unchanged. * **Role-based only** – configure menu, submenu, and admin bar visibility (and menu order) once per WordPress role. Every user inherits the settings for their role. Users with multiple roles get the union of all their roles» settings for visibility, while menu order comes from the primary role only. * **Role-based with per-user overrides** – applies the role defaults, but lets you override each menu item per user with an Inherit / Show / Hide control. Existing per-user configurations are preserved. Existing installs see no change unless an Administrator switches modes. Regardless of mode, the User Admin Simplifier settings page (under Tools) always remains accessible to Administrators, so you can never lock yourself out. ### Development #### Requirements * PHP 7.4 or higher * Composer (for managing PHP dependencies) * Node.js and npm (for building JavaScript assets) #### Setup 1. Clone the repository 2. Run `composer install` to install PHP dependencies 3. Run `npm install` to install JavaScript dependencies 4. Run `npm run build` to build the React application #### Code Quality This plugin uses PHPStan for static analysis to ensure code quality and type safety. To run PHPStan: ``` composer install (first time only) npm run phpstan ``` Or directly with PHP: ``` php vendor/bin/phpstan analyse ``` The project is configured to run PHPStan at level 3 for improved reliability and maintainability. #### Testing The plugin includes PHP unit tests, end-to-end (E2E) tests, and visual regression tests. **PHP Unit Tests** Run PHP unit tests: ``` npm run test:php ``` **End-to-End Tests** E2E tests use Playwright to test the plugin in a real WordPress environment. Setup: 1. Install dependencies: `npm install` 2. Start WordPress environment: `npm run env:start` 3. Run tests: `npm run test:e2e` See `tests/e2e/README.md` for detailed documentation on running and writing E2E tests. Available E2E test commands: * `npm run env:start` – Start WordPress test environment * `npm run env:stop` – Stop WordPress test environment * `npm run test:e2e` – Run E2E tests in headless mode * `npm run test:e2e:headed` – Run E2E tests with visible browser * `npm run test:e2e:ui` – Run E2E tests in interactive UI mode * `npm run test:e2e:debug` – Run E2E tests in debug mode * `npm run test:e2e:report` – View test report **Visual Regression Testing** This plugin uses Playwright for automated visual regression testing to catch unintended visual changes during development. _Prerequisites:_ * Node.js 18 or higher * Playwright browsers installed (Chromium by default) _Initial Setup:_ 1. Install dependencies: `npm install` 2. Install Playwright browsers: `npx playwright install --with-deps chromium` 3. Build the application: `npm run build` _Running Visual Tests:_ * Run all visual tests: `npm run test:visual` * Run tests in UI mode (interactive): `npm run test:visual:ui` * Update baseline snapshots: `npm run test:visual:update` _How It Works:_ Visual regression tests capture screenshots of the UI and compare them to baseline images. If there are visual differences, the tests will fail and generate a report showing what changed. This helps detect: * Unintended layout changes * CSS styling issues * Component rendering problems * Responsive design regressions _Test Coverage:_ The visual tests cover: – Initial app state (no user selected) – User selector dropdown – Full menu interface with user selected – Menu list with toggle functionality– Admin bar options – Save and reset buttons – Checked menu states – Expandable submenus– Responsive layouts (tablet and mobile views) _Updating Snapshots:_ When intentional UI changes are made, update the baseline snapshots: ``` npm run test:visual:update ``` Review the changes in the `tests/visual/app.spec.js-snapshots/` directory to ensure they match your intended changes. _CI Integration:_ Visual regression tests run automatically on GitHub Actions for all pull requests and pushes to main/master branches. Test reports and snapshots are uploaded as artifacts for review. **Running All Tests** Run all tests (PHP unit tests + E2E tests): ``` npm run test ``` ## Skjermbilete [⌊Choose a user to edit their menus⌉⌊Choose a user to edit their menus⌉[ Choose a user to edit their menus [⌊Check the menu section to disable.

You’re ready to go! To edit your users menus, go to Tools->User Admin Simplifier Submenus are now available for disabling. Note that disabling a top level menu removes it, no submenu items will be available. On the other hand, disabling all submenu items does not disable the top level menu. Unininstalling and deleting the plugin will remove all of its settings. ## Vanlege spm. ### Does it work with WordPress Multisite? Yes! In a multisite install, User Admin Simplifier works as follows: * plugin works on a per site/user basis * logging into dashboard for a specific site and visiting the plugin admin only shows the users with access to that site * restricting menus for users works as expected and disables menus for user on that site only * disabling menus for a user only affects current site. user’s menus remain unaffected in other sites ## Omtalar ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/722ed8abd4109e683e74f164d7b7035074db9d0e0f61bf59d44d3a2b36b19952? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-plugin-1150/)󠁿 [noxdralock](https://profiles.wordpress.org/noxdralock/) 11. februar 2022 Perfect for basic usage!
