WordPress 3.3 introduced new flyout admin menus. If you prefer to be able to 
choose to have some menu items expanded this plugin will let you. Closed menu 
items still flyout. Open items are saved in a cookie, so while they persist, 
they don’t persist from browser to browser. JavaScript is required.

Allows you to expand admin menus similar to WordPress 3.2

At <a href="https://required.com/" title="Team of experienced web professionals from Switzerland & Germany" rel="nofollow ugc">required</a> we strive to create a great user experience. We thought about how to improve the WordPress admin and came to the conclusion that we need a better way to manage the core of the WordPress back-end: the admin menu.
This is our take on a simple, lightweight and unobtrusive WordPress admin menu manager. It works like a charm, doesn’t get in your way and doesn’t even require yet another settings page. So if you want a custom tailored admin menu for you or your clients, this plugin is perfect.
Pro tip: Admin Menu Manager works perfectly to get Jetpack out of the way.
You can drag menu items anywhere you want, even from the top level to a sub menu item and vice-versa. Isn’t that awesome?!

Admin Menu Manager

Needs ability to add items, and then it'd be perfect!

Totally awesome

The plugin still works well on 4.9.x and is really simple and useful so a big fan, the only issue I had with it was in some cases it seems to create a new sub menu item that doesn't lead anywhere. It's a bit of a shame but other than that I really like it.

Good but quirky


Allows simple rearranging items in Admin menu. Exactly what I needed. now I have more logical order.


Nice

Manage the WordPress admin menu using a simple drag & drop interface.
