Am not quite sure if you can hide the WordPress left-hand menu but sure, there are plugins that allow you to give the user access to only specific parts of the WordPress dashboard.
You could try with that
Unless a user has the right capabilities, all they’ll see in the left menu is a link to their profile page. What is shown is managed by role capabilities. You can also assign specific capabilities to a user regardless of their role. So the key is what capability does one need to see contact messages, and is there any way to change that if the default capability grants the office manager too much power. For such answers, I recommend asking in the dedicated support channel for the contact message plugin.
I’m trying to make a simpler dashboard for the admin users. I want to make a page with links that take directly to the admin page that need. For example: We have a membership plugin and I want them to click a link to go to the users list in that membership plugin without having any distractions on the page like the left hand menu.
Thanks
The left admin menu is an integral part of the WP admin UI. Even if you were to remove all menu items, the menu area will still appear, although empty. Your best option would be to utilize custom admin CSS to hide the menu area so that admin screens appear full width.
Even if you provide direct links to admin screens, users still must have proper capability to view a particular screen. This varies by screen. For plugin admin screens, if you can find in the plugin’s source code where it adds its admin menu page, the required capability can be gleaned from the related function call.
Hi, thank you. I finally found a plugin from a company I trust that will help me get what I need done without changing my admin dashboard itself. https://wpfrontendadmin.com/
