Beskrivelse
Handing a site over to a client? HideAway Admin hides every admin menu and submenu they don’t need, role by role, and makes sure the hidden screens stay closed: typing the address or using an old bookmark shows a clear “you don’t have access” message instead of the screen.
What it does
- Hide menus and submenus by role. The list is your real dashboard menu, in its real order, including everything your theme and plugins add.
- Hidden really means closed. Hidden screens can’t be opened by typing their address, and neither can the loose screens of a hidden plugin.
- Live preview. See exactly how the menu will look for each role before you save, taking each role’s permissions into account.
- Temporary unlock, just for you. Bring everything back into view for a while on your own account. Nobody else notices, and it hides itself again.
- A tidy toolbar. Shortcuts to hidden screens disappear from the admin bar too.
- A starter template. Hide the usual suspects (Tools, Settings, Plugins, Appearance, Users, Updates) in one click, and see what it will tick before applying it.
- You choose where the plugin lives. In the Settings menu, in the toolbar, or both.
- A dark theme, and ready for translation at translate.wordpress.org.
No tracking: nothing is sent unless you start the Pro trial, buy Pro or activate a license. See “External services” below.

External services
HideAway Admin uses the Freemius SDK to offer the free trial and the Pro upgrade, and to manage Pro licenses and updates.
- The free version doesn’t ask you to share any data and sends nothing to Freemius while you use it.
- If you start the trial, buy Pro or activate a license, the plugin sends Freemius basic data such as your name and email, your site’s address, and your WordPress, PHP and plugin versions, so that licenses and updates can work.

Installation
- In your dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New and search for “HideAway Admin”, or upload the zip file.

- Go to Settings > HideAway Admin, pick a role and tick what that role shouldn’t see.
FAQ
-
Is this a security plugin?
-
No. Hiding a screen doesn’t take capabilities away: someone who can do something by another route (the REST API, WP-CLI, another plugin) still can. HideAway Admin keeps the dashboard tidy and closes hidden screens to everyday access. To change what a role is allowed to do, use a role editor.
-
I hid too much and I can’t find my way back
-
The plugin’s own screen can never be hidden. You can also use the temporary unlock, or add this line to wp-config.php to show everything to everyone while it is there:
define( 'HIDEAWAY_VISIBLES', true ); -
Does it work with WooCommerce and other plugins?
-
Yes. The list is read from your real dashboard, so it includes every menu your plugins add, in the order you actually see it.
-
What happens if I deactivate it?
-
The dashboard goes back to normal straight away. Your settings are kept until you delete the plugin, and deleting it removes everything it saved.
-
Does it work on multisite?
-
Yes, site by site. Copying one site’s setup to the whole network is part of Pro.
-
What language is the plugin screen in?
-
English by default. To see it in your dashboard’s language, pick “Same as the dashboard” in the language menu at the top of the plugin’s screen: it then uses the translations the community adds at translate.wordpress.org. It only changes this plugin, and only for that person. HideAway Admin Pro also comes with 12 ready-made translations.
-
What happens when a Pro license expires?
-
Nothing breaks. Everything you set up with Pro keeps working (menu order, rules for specific people, white label, the lock…), but the Pro options become read-only, and updates and support stop, until you renew. The free features stay fully editable.
