removing dashboard submenu in custom posts

[Angel Utset]

Hi

 

I have made a plugin for a custom post type. The registered user (custom role) introduces the custom-post features through a form appearing in his admin dashboard, contained in a specific dashboard widget. I have customized the dashboard admin bar y menu, according to the role.

I gave “read” capabilities to the role. Hence, the user can edit his custom posts, as well as read the other users’ posts.

Everything is fine, but the “Add new” submenu. User can create a new custom post from such submenu, whilst I want them to introduce the data in the dashboard widget I created, instead. Both “Add” and “Edit” submenus are created when user has “read” capabilities.

I need to remove the “Add new” submenu, whilst keeping the rest unchanged.

I have reviewed several options, but none seems to fit my case, since I have a custom post.

 

I will appreciate any help!!!

 

Cheers,

 

Angel

Try something like this:

// remove the menu

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'cpt_hide_add_new_cpt_menu' );

function cpt_hide_add_new_cpt_menu() {

    global $submenu;

if ( is_admin() && isset( $submenu['edit.php?post_type=cpt'][10] ) ) {

unset( $submenu['edit.php?post_type=cpt'][10] );

}

}

// remove the add-new link at the top of the list and edit/new pages

add_action('admin_head', 'cpt_hide_add_new_cpt_link');

function cpt_hide_add_new_cpt_link() {

    global $pagenow, $post_type;

if ( ( $pagenow == 'edit.php' ) || ( $pagenow == 'post.php' ) && isset( $post_type ) && ( 'cpt' == $post_type ) ) {

echo "

<style type=\"text/css\">

.add-new-h2 { display: none; }

</style>

";

}

}

// remove from admin bar

add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'cpt_admin_bar_menu', 75 );

function cpt_admin_bar_menu( $wp_admin_bar) {

$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('new-cpt');

}

Just replace 'cpt' with the slug of your custom post type

Thanks!!. I will review your code.

Actually I had found a solution, removing completely the edit-add menu for the custom post and creating another menu for the edit only. It works. I hided the add-new h2 button also.

 

The code I wrote is (sorry for the Spanish!):

 

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_menu_ofertas' ); // Quita todo el menu ofertas

 

            function remove_menu_ofertas() {

                        remove_menu_page('edit.php?post_type=oferta');       

                       

            }

 

add_action('admin_menu', 'edit_oferta_menu_page'); // Añade un menu que permite editar la oferta

 

function edit_oferta_menu_page() {

   add_menu_page('edit oferta menu title', 'Edit oferta', 'edit_ofertas', 'edit.php?post_type=oferta&author=6', '',   0);

}

 

function hide_buttons() // Esconde la opcion de addnew en Editar oferta

{

  global $current_screen;

 

  echo '<style>.add-new-h2{display: none;}</style>'; 

 

}

add_action('admin_head','hide_buttons');

 

This solution seems to work properly. Thanks again!

 

The dashboard language is personalized according to each’ user preferences, as I wrote previously, using a plugin I made.

Hi Mike

 

I tried to follow your code, but after removing the “Add new” menu I can’t reach the edit menu: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”

That must be something to do with the custom roles you have created and the way the capabilities map to the custom post type.

This example CPT here: https://pastebin.com/Ap5E7fyV works fine. I tried logging in as an author and as an editor and things worked as expected.
