Admin Menu Editor Pro 2.28

= 2.28 (2025-04-01) =
##### Added
* Added a "Reset Roles" feature to the role editor. It can reset the default roles to their default capabilities. Unlike some other similar plugins, you can choose which roles to reset and you don't lose custom roles. However, the downside is that it uses predefined defaults which may eventually become outdated. Before resetting roles, check the WordPress version number shown in the "Reset roles to defaults" screen.

##### Fixed
* Fixed a conflict with Toolset Types and Toolset Blocks 1.6.18 that prevented the content template editor and several other Toolset pages from working.
* Fixed Quick Search treating headings inside admin notices as sections.
* Added a workaround for plugins and themes that could crash in the "Content Permissions (AME)" meta box due to how AME detects post type capabiliites. On new installations, the workaround will be applied automatically if the meta box runs into a fatal error the first time AME tries to display it. In other cases, you can apply it manually by going to the "Settings" tab and unchecking this option: "Detect post type capabilities by checking them with a non-existent user".

##### Changed
* The role list is now sorted. The default roles like like "Administrator", "Editor", etc are shown in a predefined order, while the rest are sorted alphabetically. Previously, roles were shown in the order they were created.

= 2.27.4 (2025-03-13) =
##### Fixed
* Fixed the "Disable Customizations" -> "Admin menu content" tweak not working on sites without plugins. It had a bug that was masked by having specific other plugins installed (e.g. "Classic Editor"), so it would work only on sites that were also using those plugins.
* Fixed a potential crash in the Admin Customizer.

= 2.27.2 (2025-03-07) =
* Improved reliability of the 'Hide the "Patterns" tab' and the 'Hide the "Media" tab' tweaks. It appears that the block inserter tabs can have different IDs on different sites (even on sites running the same WP version) so it's difficult to hide them consistently.

= 2.27 (2025-03-06) =
##### Added
* Added a way to control access to specific posts and pages. The new "Content Permissions" box in the post editor lets you choose which roles will be able to see a post. It also has an "Advanced" tab where you can enable or disable individual permissions like read/edit/delete for each role. Finally, you can control what happens when someone who doesn't have permission tries to view a post: you can replace the post content with something else, show a custom error, simulate a "404 Not Found" error, or redirect the user to a custom URL.
* Added "Quick Search": a pop-up search box that searches admin menus. Optionally, it can also search admin pages for specific settings, tabs, filter links, and a few more things. You can open the search box by pressing the Shift key twice or clicking the search icon in the Toolbar/Admin Bar. You can configure this feature in the new "Quick Search" tab or turn it off in the "Settings" tab (under "Modules").
* Added margin settings for menu headings.
* Added "Disable Customizations" tweaks that you can use to disable the custom admin menu, custom metabox visibility, and a few other things for specific roles or users.
* Added a filter that can be used to turn off admin menu customizations. Basic example: `add_filter('admin_menu_editor-disable_customizations-admin_menu_structure', '__return_true');`
* Added an option to highlight unsaved changes (i.e. enabled/disabled capabilities) in the "Roles" tab.
* Added an "Optimize menu configuration size" option to the "Settings" tab. It makes the plugin store the admin menu configuration in a more space-efficient format, which should reduce the size of the "ws_menu_editor_pro" database entry. This option is enabled by default. Previously, this was controlled by the option "Compress menu configuration data that's stored in the database", but now the "Compress..." option only applies to actual compression.

##### Fixed
* Fixed default redirects not being saved due to a bug in the "delete settings associated with missing roles" feature.
* Fixed the "Highlight background" color setting in admin menu colors not completely overriding the "Menu highlight background" setting in the general admin color scheme.
* Fixed a potential crash when the Zlib extension is enabled but the gzuncompress() function is disabled.
* Fixed a PHP warning related to WP Adminify that was triggered by trying to parse an invalid hook callback.
* Fixed the "Hide the Gutenberg options menu" tweak not working in WP 6.7.x.
* Fixed the tweaks that hide the "Media" and "Patterns" tabs in the Gutenberg block inserter not working in WP 6.7.x.
* Fixed a potential CSS issue where menu heading styles failed to override general menu item styles.
* Fixed a minor conflict with Elementor that caused the hidden menu items "Elementor -> Connect" and "Elementor -> Note Proxy" to become visible.
* Fixed the left side of the focus outline being cut off for capability checkboxes in the "Roles" tab.
* Fixed a potential caching issue with generated CSS stylesheets.

##### Changed
* Adjusted the size and layout of the top settings tabs on the "Menu Editor Pro" page in situations where the tabs don't fit on a single row.
* Removed the "Screen Options" panel fron the menu editor. The only option that was in that panel - "Hide advanced options" - is still available in the "Settings" tab (in the "Interface" section).
* Tested with WP 6.7.2; partially tested with WP 6.8-alpha.
* Increased minimum required WP version to 5.4.

2.26.1 (2024-07-17)​

Added​

• Added the "CSS classes" field to submenu items. You can use it to add custom CSS classes to menu items. Previously, only top level menus had this field.
• Updated the capability database. The plugin uses this to categorize the role capabilities shown in the "Roles" tab.

Fixed​

• Fixed a bug introduced in version 2.26 that prevented certain blocks from rendering in the default block editor. This only affected blocks that call the "block-renderer" REST API.

= 2.25 (2024-07-02) =
##### Added
* Added background color settings for submenu item hover states, both for the admin menu and for the Toolbar.
* Added a background color setting for the currently active admin menu item.
* Added an option to open the admin menu logo link in a new tab.
* Added an option to automatically delete settings associated with missing roles and users. This only applies to certain settings, such as menu permissions and login redirects. "Missing" means that the role or user doesn't exist on the current site, which usually happens when it has been deleted. In Multisite, it can also happen if different subsites have different roles. By default, this option is enabled on regular sites and disabled in Multisite.

##### Fixed
* Fixed a WooCommerce conflict where two "Orders" menu items would appear when AME was active.
* Fixed a rare PHP warning "Undefined array key "parent" in ... menu-editor-core.php".
* Fixed a potential crash if the global `$menu` variable is not a native array but is still array-like.
* Improved compatibility with old versions of UiPress.

##### Changed
* Improved menu drag & drop from the top level to the submenu. You can now drop items anywhere in the active submenu, not just at the bottom.
* Tested with WP 6.5.5.

= 2.24.2 (2024-04-29) =
* Fixed a fatal error "Cannot use a scalar value as an array" when trying to save changes on the "Easy Hide" page.

= 2.24 (2024-04-15) =
##### Added
* Added a way to prevent a role from editing or deleting media files that were uploaded by other users. You can find the new settings in the "Tweaks" tab, in a section named "Media Library Restrictions".
* Added the ability to hide and/or remove block patterns.
* Added an option to hide the "Media" tab in the Gutenberg block inserter.

##### Fixed
* Fixed inability to save various menu styles and menu separator styles without creating an admin menu configuration first. This issue could cause errors when saving changes in the Admin Customizer.
* Fixed the Gutenberg block editor and the block-based widget editor having unnecessary empty space at the top when the Toolbar (Admin Bar) is hidden.
* Fixed the Gutenberg editor overlapping the admin menu when increasing the width of the admin menu.
* Fixed hidden special blocks like "Pattern placeholder" and "Legacy Widget" showing up in the "Hide Gutenberg Blocks" section even though they are not actually visible in the block inserter.
* Fixed a conflict between unchecking the "Show the Toolbar" option and enabling "Full height" admin menu mode in the Admin Customizer. This could cause the first item of the admin menu to go off the screen, making it invisible.
* Various other layout fixes.
* Fixed an Admin Ccustomizer bug where changing admin menu settings in a certain order and then saving the changes could result in some of those changes being lost. For example, this could happen if you changed the menu bar width, then changed the menu separator margins, then saved the changes - the menu bar width would be reset.
* Made the "Download as admin theme" feature available even when the current session doesn't have any unsaved changes.
* Fixed "Warning: Attempt to read property "cap_key" on null" if a metadata update happens for a non-existent user or the user can't be retrieved.
* Fixed the "Media" menu always being highlighted as "new" when the "Enable Media Replace" plugin is active.

##### Changed
* The "Hide Profile Fields" tweaks now also apply to the "Edit User" screen.
* Tested up to WordPress 6.5.2.

= 2.23.3 (2024-01-21) =
* Hiding the "Author" meta box now also hides the corresponding section of the "Summary" panel in the Gutenberg block editor.
* Updated the "Meta Boxes" tab to automatically reselect the previously selected role after saving changes.
* Fixed dashboard widget visibility not being saved.
