Description

The plugin automatically hides unused Admin Menu items and adds search box for menu items

If you use a lot of plugins – each of them adds their own admin menu item. The admin menu grows more and more. And though you don’t use the majority of menu items, they bother you to find the certain menu item.
This small plugin solves this issue AUTOMATICALLY. It means you don’t need to enable or disable some menu items manually. If you use a menu item it is on the menu if you don’t use it a certain time (which you can set in the settings) – it will be hidden but you’ll have access to them anyway.

Plugin Features

  • Search menu and submenu items
  • Auto hides unused Admin Menu items
  • These settings personal for each user
  • Reset settings
  • Reset clicks – to start collecting data and hiding unused menu items from scratch
  • Set Menu Items which should be always shown or hidden

Frequently Asked Questions

I installed the plugin and nothing is changed

We have no information about which menu items you use right after installing the plugin. The changes will be shown in 7 days by default or you can set Start in option to 0 days if you would like to see changes immediately.

The plugin worked some time but now I don’t see `show more` option and hidden menu items

It means you used all menu items for the last 7 days ( by default ) and there is nothing should be hidden for now
