how to hide sidebar admin menu?

Hello,

I would like to know how I could hide the sidebar menu in the wordpress dashboard, but just for subscriber+admin+editor role and keep for superadmin role. I have difficulty to hide but keep for superadmin

In fact, I just want people to see the toolbar but not the menu on the left.

Thank you

Ludovic

Hey @ludovic, hope you’re doing well today! :slight_smile:

You can do this by using our Ultimate Branding plugin, along with some custom CSS & PHP code.

After installing Ultimate Branding, you’ll want to insert the following code into your site as a mu-plugin:

function role_admin_body_class( $classes ) {

global $wpdb, $current_user;



get_currentuserinfo();



if (is_super_admin()) {

$classes .= 'superadmin';

} else {

foreach( $current_user->roles as $role ) {

$classes .= ' role-' . $role;

}

}



return trim( $classes );

}



add_filter( 'admin_body_class', 'role_admin_body_class', 50 );

Then, after enabling the Custom Admin CSS module inside of Ultimate Branding, you can insert this CSS code in there to hide that menu for the roles you mentioned:

.role-administrator #adminmenuwrap, .role-editor #adminmenuwrap, .role-subscriber #adminmenuwrap {

display: none;

}



.role-administrator #adminmenuback, .role-editor #adminmenuback, .role-subscriber #adminmenuback {

display: none;

}



.role-administrator #wpcontent, .role-editor #wpcontent, .role-subscriber #wpcontent {

margin-left: 0;

}

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Kind Regards,

Michael
