The admin menu grows more and more. And though you don’t use the majority of menu items, they bother you to find the certain menu item. This small plugin solves this issue AUTOMATICALLY. It means you don’t need to enable or disable some menu items manually. If you use a menu item it is on the menu if you don’t use it a certain time (which you can set in the settings) – it will be hidden but you’ll have access to them anyway. ### Plugin Features * Search menu and submenu items * Auto hides unused Admin Menu items * These settings personal for each user * Reset settings * Reset clicks – to start collecting data and hiding unused menu items from scratch * Set Menu Items which should be always shown or hidden ## Screenshots * [[ * Settings page * [[ * Example hiding menus * [[ * Example showing hidden menus * [[ * Example Search menus ## FAQ ### I installed the plugin and nothing is changed We have no information about which menu items you use right after installing the plugin. The changes will be shown in 7 days by default or you can set `Start in` option to `0` days if you would like to see changes immediately. ### The plugin worked some time but now I don’t see `show more` option and hidden menu items It means you used all menu items for the last 7 days ( by default ) and there is nothing should be hidden for now ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d2e638b7cb0ad99e7b53c49031ac8312085c0361b675b2c4b55d0d7fd69a8027? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thats a very inteligent software.. the only problem was..](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thats-a-very-inteligent-software-the-only-problem-was/)󠁿 [cliquei2](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cliquei2/) June 24, 2022 Thats a very inteligent software.. the only problem was..it would not keep woocommerce menu displayed even though I had explicitly made it keep showing.
