WordPress Multisite admin cleanup snippets
Snippets to remove unnecessary admin bar links and admin sidebar links.
Cleanup of admin sidebar:
The following snippet removes menu item Dashboard.
This also removes access to menu items for update core and upgrade network.
As a solution we add new menu items as sub items to settings menu, providing easy access to these two sites.
/*
* Customizing the network admin sidebar.
* Removes link to dashboard. Adds link to updates and upgrade network as settings submenu item
*/
function maksimer_customize_network_sidebar_menu() {
remove_menu_page( 'index.php' );
add_submenu_page( 'settings.php', __( 'Updates' ), __( 'Updates' ), 'manage_options', 'update-core.php' );
add_submenu_page( 'settings.php', __( 'Upgrade Network' ), __( 'Upgrade Network' ), 'manage_options', 'upgrade.php' );
}
add_action('network_admin_menu', 'maksimer_customize_network_sidebar_menu');Cleanup of admin bar:
This snippet removes the following links from admin bar (top bar):
- My sites –> Network Admin –> Dashboard
