Features

• Change menu titles, URLs, icons, CSS classes and so on.

• Change menu permissions by setting the required capability or role.

Shortcodes

The plugin provides a few utility shortcodes. These are mainly intended to help with creating login/logout redirects, but you can also use them in posts and pages.

• [ame-wp-admin]– URL of the WordPress dashboard (with a trailing slash).
• [ame-home-url]– Site URL. Usually, this is the same as the URL in the “Site Address” field in Settings -> General.
• [ame-user-info field=”…”]– Information about the logged-in user. Parameters:
  • field– The part of user profile to display. Supported fields include: ID, user_login, display_name, locale, user_nicename, user_url, and so on.
  • placeholder– Optional. Text that will be shown if the visitor is not logged in.
  • encoding– Optional. How to encode or escape the output. This is useful if you want to use the shortcode in your own HTML or JS code. Supported values: auto (default), html, attr, js, none.

Notes

• If you delete any of the default menus they will reappear after saving. This is by design. To get rid of a menu for good, either hide it or change it’s access permissions.
• In the free version, it’s not possible to give a role access to a menu item that it couldn’t see before. You can only restrict menu access further.
• In case of emergency, you can reset the menu configuration back to the default by going to http://example.com/wp-admin/?reset_admin_menu=1 (replace example.com with your site URL). You must be logged in as an Administrator to do this.
