Hide Swift Slider from Menu for Editors

[mike3run]

Hey guys, I’m making a special user with a modified ‘Editor’ role to give my client since he only wants to deal with Posts, Portfolio and Products.

So I almost got the menu clean for them but I can’t seem to be able to hide the Swift Slider menu

I’m trying the following code on the child theme functions:

/* Clean up the admin sidebar navigation *************************************************/
		function remove_admin_menu_items() {
			$remove_menu_items = array(__('Swift Slider'),__('Contacto'));
	  global $menu;
	  end ($menu);
	  while (prev($menu)){
	    $item = explode(' ',$menu[key($menu)][0]);
	    if(in_array($item[0] != NULL?$item[0]:"" , $remove_menu_items)){
	      unset($menu[key($menu)]);}
	    }
	  }
	add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_admin_menu_items');

The other one being the Contact Form 7 panel which was successfully hidden from view.

Also if I hide the Swift Slider this way will it continue to work normally?

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Not sure why that wouldn’t work. The post type is registered as ‘swift-slider’.

You could try using this plugin? https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-menu-editor/
