How do I hide the options page?

  • How can I hide the options pages that I add so that only the super admin can see them?

    thanks!

  • Hi kkyang,

    You can do so by editing the capability of the options page.

    Set it to a capability only a super admin has

    For example:

    
    $options = acf_add_options_page(array(
    		"page_title"    => "Options",
    		"menu_title"    => "Options",
    		"menu_slug"     => "options-theme",
    		"capability"    => "manage_sites",
    		"redirect"      => false
    		));
    

    For more capabilities see:

  • sweet! is there anything wrong with doing it this way?

    if (current_user_can('administrator')) {
    		if(function_exists('acf_add_options_page')) { 
    			acf_add_options_page();
    			acf_add_options_sub_page('Global');
    			acf_add_options_sub_page('Home');
    			acf_add_options_sub_page('Ads');
    			acf_add_options_sub_page('Social Media Widget');
    			acf_add_options_sub_page('Calendar Options');
    		}
    	}
  • I can’t speak to the functions above, but if you’re looking to do a lot of admin sidebar tweaking, look into the Admin Menu Editor plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-menu-editor. Allows for resorting, hiding, adding, and all sorts of editing to the admin menu. Great for handing off to less-savvy users.
