Overview

This open-source and lightweight WordPress plugin is designed to empower users with the roles of Editor or Shop Manager by granting them access to pivotal sections of the Appearance menu, specifically the Menus and Widgets areas, in the WordPress admin interface. Ideal for clients who need more control over their website’s content, it also provides access to the Customize submenu and other theme options, although these can be selectively hidden via an options page under Appearance > Editor Access. Additionally, the plugin offers flexibility to hide other menus from Editors and Shop Managers, including custom theme or plugin options pages and specific admin bar elements. Key features include granting access to Customize, Menus, and Widgets, while keeping theme options concealed, and providing granular control over which menus and admin bar elements are visible to these user roles.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the plugin's ability to provide editors with access to Widgets and Menu options, which is not permitted by default in WordPress. The plugin is lauded for its simplicity, ease of handling, and straightforward setup, solving a commonly needed feature effortlessly. Many users find it essential for enabling non-experienced users to manage specific admin tasks without additional permissions. On the downside, some users report that it doesn't fully restrict access as intended, allowing Editors to access plugin settings or other restricted areas, thus pointing out the necessity for updates. Overall, the plugin fills a significant gap in WordPress's core functionalities, albeit not perfectly.
