Easy Store Management by AyudaWP

Easy Store Management by AyudaWP transforms the WordPress admin dashboard into a clean, focused store management environment specifically designed for WooCommerce shop managers.

Key Features:

• Clean Interface: Hides all non-store related WordPress menus and widgets from shop managers
• Reorganized Menus: Moves important WooCommerce sections like Orders and Customers to top-level menus
• Focused Dashboard: Removes WordPress widgets, keeping only WooCommerce-related dashboard widgets
• Enhanced Admin Bar: Adds quick access to orders and removes non-store elements
• Role-Based: Only affects users with the “Shop Manager” role – administrators and other roles remain unaffected

What gets hidden/reorganized:

• WordPress core menus (Posts, Pages, Comments, Users, Tools, etc.)
• Non-WooCommerce plugin menus
• WordPress dashboard widgets (Quick Draft, At a Glance, etc.)
• Non-store items from admin bar

Menu reorganization:

1. Dashboard (WordPress default)
2. Store (renamed WooCommerce main menu)
3. Orders (promoted to top-level)
4. Customers (promoted to top-level)
5. Products (existing top-level menu)

This plugin is perfect for store owners who want to provide their shop managers with a clean, distraction-free environment focused solely on store operations.
