Hide a plugins submenu items. WordPress

  • SOLVED

Currently I use:

unset($submenu['themes.php'][5]); // Removes 'Themes'.

To remove submenu items from the admin area.

However, plugin's submenu items aren't in the $submenu array.

How can I remove submenu items that plugins add throughout your menu?

Oleg Butuzov answers:

comment add_submenu_page function calls in plugins itself

or other add_*_menu functions (like add_management_page ro add_options_page)

So your recommending editing the plugins files?


Oleg Butuzov comments:

well... you still can try to search for the submenus in menu filer but with a biger priority...


for example

add_filter('admin_menu', 'admin_menu_filter', 10000);

function admin_menu_filter(){
global $menu,$submenu;
//and take a look here... whats is inside of menu and submenu arrays...
}


Bill Johnson comments:

I was using add_action for some reason which resulted in the $submenu array without any of the plugin's menu items.

Changing add_action to add_filter with an low priority resulted in an array with the plugin's menu items.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers!
