How to use mu_menu_items filter in WordPress

Example 1: Basic Usage of mu_menu_items

Here’s a straightforward example of how to use the mu_menu_items filter. You just need to modify the $admin_menus array according to your requirements.

    function weplugins_modify_mu_menu_items_defaults($admin_menus) {
        // Your custom logic here
        return $admin_menus;
    }

Example 2: Conditional Menu Item Modification

In this example, you’ll see how to conditionally modify the admin menu items based on specific conditions. This is super useful if you want different menus for different user roles or other criteria.

    function weplugins_modify_mu_menu_items_conditionally($admin_menus) {
        if (current_user_can('manage_options')) {
            // Modify $admin_menus for users who can manage options
        }
        return $admin_menus;
    }
    add_filter("mu_menu_items", "weplugins_modify_mu_menu_items_conditionally", 10, 1);
    

Example 3: Removing a Hook

Sometimes, you just need to remove a previously registered hook. Here’s how you can use remove_filter to remove the mu_menu_items filter.

    remove_filter("mu_menu_items", "weplugins_modify_mu_menu_items_defaults", 10, 1);
