Submenus question

    Hello. Thank you for this plugin – it serves an important purpose. Can you clarify the expected behavior around top level vs submenu navigation? I’ve set several top level menu items to be visible only to users with super_admin capabilities but I’m finding they still appear to users without that capability. The only way I seem to be able to hide a menu item is to set all its children to have the same restriction. Is that expected? It seems like setting a top level item to be hidden should hide it and its children as well. If that’s not how it’s set to work that’s fine but I’m hoping to make sure there isn’t something amiss.

    I just found the answer to this in the documentation, which I had missed before.

    Just to confirm, yes, that’s the expected behaviour. In WordPress admin menus, a top-level menu that has any accessible submenu items will stay visible even if the top-level menu itself has permissions that would make it inaccessible. That’s how it works even without Admin Menu Editor (though you usually can’t see that unless you somehow change the permissions of individual menu items).

    In the free version of the plugin, you will need to hide every submenu item to hide a top-level menu.

    Is it possible in the paid version to shorten this process so that top level permissions are copied to their children?

    The Pro version has checkboxes for each menu item and unchecking a top-level item automatically unchecks its submenu items.

    If you have additional questions about the Pro version, please use the contact form instead of these forums.
