How to hide the "add new" page button using the Adminimize plugin

  • I was trying to get an answer for how to hide or remove the ADD NEW page button on the page list and edit page admin screen, for eg: if you need to restrict your clients from adding new pages from the WordPress admin.

    This is in reply to the posts I found here:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/remove-just-the-add-page-button-on-all-pages
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-adminimize-how-to-hide-add-new-under-page

    I wanted to clarify this a little more. The steps you need to do are:
    1. Go to the “Write options – Page” section in the Adminimize plugin settings page.
    2. Scroll down to the end of this section where you can see the two text area that says “Your own page options ID or class”
    3. In the first text area on the left, just give any name for example type: Add new page
    4. In the second text area on its right type in: .add-new-h2
    5. Press the Update Options button. Click on the page to edit, there you will notice the ADD NEW page button has disappeared!

    For sure, this is a great plugin for developers/webmasters who want to restrict admin screen options for their clients so they don’t mess with the plugins etc. and dont break anything: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/adminimize/ This also helps the clients to have a simple clean admin interface with just the options they need to have to update their website. Check it out.

    Hope this helps someone.

  • Just tried the above and it didn’t work for me.

    I have clicked the tick on members to make sure they are disabled but its not working.

    I checked firebug and the .add-new-h2 is still correct…

    Any ideas?

    I’m experiencing the same results as Matt, unsuccessful. I found a reply from Frank himself, yet the results are not working. Is there anybody out there who can shed some light on the problem? Much appreciated.

    I found a solution. As it turns out, the CSS class has changed. Below are the steps I used.

    1. Go to the “Write options – Page” section in the Adminimize plugin settings page.
    2. Scroll down to the end of this section where you can see the two text areas that says “Your own page options ID or class”
    3. In the first text area on the left, type in any name – for example type: Add New Page Btn
    4. In the second text area on the right type in .page-title-action (this is the CSS class)
    5. Press the Update Options button.
    6. Go to the “Write options – Page” section in the Adminimize plugin settings page.
    7. Check mark the user levels you wish NOT to see the Add New option you just added.
    8. Press the Update Options button.

    If you are logged in as one of the user levels check marked, click on the Pages menu to edit and you will no longer see the ADD NEW button. Hope this helps others : )

    Big Thanks to Frank Bueltge for writing such a GREAT plugin!
