Jetpack Shown In Dashboard To Subscribers

Thanks to Jeremy Herve for point out this thread. Here’s a way to block all users except administrators from seeing Jetpack in their Dashboard:

<?php

function hide_jetpack_from_others() {

    if ( ! current_user_can('administrator') ) {
        remove_menu_page( 'jetpack' );
    }
}

add_action('jetpack_admin_menu', 'hide_jetpack_from_others');

The easiest way to enable this is to save that function to a file, such as

jetpack-tweaks.php (or whatever you want to call it)

and upload it to

wp-content/mu-plugins (create directory if needed)

mu-plugins, for those that don’t know, is a directory that WP scans and will run every .php file inside of. Basically, they’re plugins that don’t appear in your plugins admin interface.

Thank you for sharing this AK Ted. I completely agree with your sentiments about controlling what is displayed on MY site. I was interested in Jetpack mostly for “Publicize” and its ability to syndicate blog posts to social media networks in one fell swoop. I have implemented the fix and it seems to be working just fine. This is exactly what i was looking for!
Thanks again!
