Admin Menu Editor Pro is the paid edition of Admin Menu Editor. It gives administrators tools to organize WordPress Dashboard navigation and manage related access settings for various roles and users.

Menu structure and destinations

Drag menu entries to reorder them or place them in a different submenu. Pro also lets you move items between menu levels. Change menu titles, URLs, icons, and CSS classes; display or conceal menus and individual items; and create custom menus that point to Dashboard areas or external destinations. Pro menus can open in a new window, and menu configurations can be exported.

Role and visitor access

Menu access can be based on a required capability or role. Pro adds per-role menu permissions and lets you hide a menu from everyone except a specific user. A menu hidden outright is invisible to everyone, including administrators. Use access permissions or the specific-user option when selected users should retain access. The free version can restrict access further, but cannot give a role access to a menu item it could not already see.

Redirects, posts, and extension display

Create login and logout redirects, or allow or deny access to specific posts based on user roles. You can also hide extensions from other users on the Installed Plugins page. Edit extension names, descriptions, author names, site URLs, version numbers, and other display details there; these changes affect how add-ons appear on that page and do not modify plugin files.

Utility shortcodes

Use the shortcodes in posts, pages, or redirect setups:

• [ame-wp-admin] outputs the WordPress Dashboard URL with a trailing slash.
• [ame-home-url] outputs the site URL.
• [ame-user-info field="..."] outputs supported information about a logged-in user, such as their ID, login name, display name, locale, or user URL.

The user information shortcode accepts an optional placeholder for users who are not logged in. Its encoding option works with automatic handling, HTML, attributes, JavaScript, or no encoding, which can be useful when placing the output in custom HTML or JavaScript.

Configure the Dashboard

Install and activate the plugin in WordPress, then open Settings > Menu Editor to arrange menus, set permissions, and configure redirects or other controls. Review the resulting access for each role before assigning the configuration.
