Admin Menu Cleaner

Admin Menu Cleaner is a straightforward and highly secure tool designed to help administrators declutter their WordPress backend. Often, themes and plugins add numerous pages to the left-hand sidebar, making it difficult to navigate.

With this plugin, you get a clean settings page under Settings > Menu Cleaner. All available admin menus are listed there along with their original icons. Simply uncheck the ones you don't need to see, and they will be visually hidden from the sidebar.

Features

Simple & Intuitive: No confusing settings. Just a clean list of checkboxes with native menu icons.
Opt-in Visibility: By default, all menus are visible. You choose what to hide.
Lockout Prevention: Automatically prevents you from hiding the main "Settings" menu so you never lock yourself out of the plugin.
Instant Updates: Changes are applied instantly upon saving, refreshing the sidebar automatically.
Zero Bloat: Built purely with WordPress native APIs. No external libraries, no heavy CSS or JS files.
Developer & Security Focused: Built with OOP PHP and strict adherence to WordPress.org security guidelines (Nonces, Sanitization, Late-escaping).

Note: This plugin hides the menus visually to simplify your workspace. It does not alter user capabilities or block access if a user types the direct URL and has the right permissions.
