Default menu item deletion / hiding / usability

  • It took me quite a while until I found this note in the plugin description:
    “If you delete any of the default menus they will reappear after saving. This is by design. To get rid of a menu for good, either hide it […]”
    But again, it took me a while. I suggest that you put this helpful instruction right where it’s needed most: together with the “This item was automatically reinserted […]” tooltip. ARRGH!

  • flixflix – That’s awesome. Thanks for posting this little tidbit – just what I wanted to know (saved me a small bundle of frustration) ; )

    Having some issues with this.

    I am using the Author Advertising Plugin – https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/author-advertising-plugin/

    It automatically creates a sub-menu item in Dashboard.

    I want to make it a top level menu item or at least a sub menu item of profile (which I had to create as a custom menu), however, no matter what I do, it does not work, usually giving me the error – You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

    I have tried:
    Dragging Author Advertising to another menu item
    Deleting Author Advertising and adding it in another location using a custom menu item
    The above, but using the full URL to the Author Advertising page, rather than the included drop-down menu
    Setting Author Advertising to allow every user (including Subscriber), then changing the user role in Admin Menu Editor, using all the above methods.

    Any help would be appreciated.
