I’m trying to hide the Connections admin menu tab from users using the

remove_menu_page( ‘$menuslug.php’ );

and it’s not working. I’ve tried ‘connections.php’, ‘connections/connections.php’ and various other combinations to no avail. What’s the correct slug for that code?

I would think that the better way to hide the admin menu from users would be to remove the View Admin Menu capability on the Connections : Roles admin page would be better and secure. Hiding it will still allow access if the user knew the URL/s.

Here’s the code that will hide it from view:

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'cn_remove_admin_menu', 999 );

function cn_remove_admin_menu() {
	
	remove_menu_page('connections_dashboard');
}

Hope that helps!

That connections_dashboard was exactly what I needed. I’m only hiding it from a certain user role and under. We downgraded our Editors & created a new user Role called Advanced Editor. So now I’ve hidden it from the Editors, I’ve got to add the capabilities to the Advanced editor. Thanks!

function remove_menus(){
    if ( !current_user_can( 'publish_pages' ) ) {
  			remove_menu_page( 'connections_dashboard' );
	}
}
