The Menu Tree
The main area shows all WordPress admin menu items as a sortable tree. Each item displays:
- The dashicon (menu icon)
- The title (can be customized)
- A badge showing the required capability (e.g., “manage_options”)
- Action icons on the right side
Expanding Submenus
Click the arrow (▸) next to a menu item to expand and see its submenu items. Submenu items can also be reordered, hidden, or renamed.
Item States
- Normal — Visible, with full access
- Hidden (strikethrough, dimmed) — The item is hidden from the menu but the page is still accessible via direct URL
- Locked (🔒 red lock) — The current role doesn’t have the capability to access this item
- Granted (🔓 green badge) — Access was manually granted to this item
The Preview Panel
On the right side, you can see a live preview of what the menu looks like for the selected role/user. This updates in real-time as you make changes.
