If you have a lot of plugins installed, you may have organization issues in your WordPress admin panel. Let’s see how to organize it better.
Reorder WordPress admin panel
The first option is the easiest and cheapest. In fact, it’s free. We will do it using the plugin. The operation is as simple as you can imagine. Simply install and activate the plugin and you will see how the “Edit Menu” option appears.
And when you press it, the magic happens. You will see that now when passing over the menus the cursor becomes a scroll cross, and that all the menus are “draggable”, and we can relocate them where we want simply by dragging up or down.
In fact, we can even rearrange the submenus without any difficulty, to better organize the internal layout:
This functionality is especially interesting if we use a lot of plugins and there are some that we use daily while others we hardly ever use. If, for example, we have WooCommerce installed and we use it every day, we will surely want to place it on top of everything. On the other hand, if we use Jetpack, which is first by default, we can reposition it at the end.
What this plugin cannot currently do is hide menus. It just rearranges them. But no problem, for that we have another plugin.
Hide WordPress admin panel menus
With the plugin we go a step further, and we can do a thousand fancy things:
Not only does it allow us to rearrange the menus and their elements at will, but we can also hide menus, drag elements from one to another, order them alphabetically, place spacers where we want, cut, copy and paste, and even create our own menus , elements and subelements.
The plugin also allows us to modify the menus depending on the user who is watching it. For example, we can make a publisher see less things, or in another order, and a subscriber see nothing but his profile. full flexibility.
Code, the great friend
Finally, we can also do everything by code. I personally prefer to do it this way, as it saves me having to install a plugin. It is also something that normally does not change, so it is not necessary to have it very close at hand.
With this code we can easily reorder, hide and modify the WordPress admin menu:
So, with this code you can do the same. Sort and reorder content at will. You simply have to change the order of the lines to your liking. Just add it to functions.php or your functions plugin.
conclusion
WordPress by default does not let us reorder the administration menu, which I see very badly, since depending on our needs we will need to modify it. But either through free plugins, paid plugins or directly with code, we can customize it. You choose the path.
And speaking of paths, if you are interested in the path of WordPress training, you already know that you have at your disposal the , in which you can learn all this and much more through guided video tutorials.
Until next time!
