Description
Easy Store Management by AyudaWP transforms the WordPress admin dashboard into a clean, focused store management environment specifically designed for WooCommerce shop managers.
Key Features:
- Clean Interface: Hides all non-store related WordPress menus and widgets from shop managers
- Reorganized Menus: Moves important WooCommerce sections like Orders and Customers to top-level menus
- Focused Dashboard: Removes WordPress widgets, keeping only WooCommerce-related dashboard widgets
- Enhanced Admin Bar: Adds quick access to orders and removes non-store elements
- Role-Based: Only affects users with the “Shop Manager” role – administrators and other roles remain unaffected
What gets hidden/reorganized:
- WordPress core menus (Posts, Pages, Comments, Users, Tools, etc.)
- Non-WooCommerce plugin menus
- WordPress dashboard widgets (Quick Draft, At a Glance, etc.)
- Non-store items from admin bar
Menu reorganization:
- Dashboard (WordPress default)
- Store (renamed WooCommerce main menu)
- Orders (promoted to top-level)
- Customers (promoted to top-level)
- Products (existing top-level menu)
This plugin is perfect for store owners who want to provide their shop managers with a clean, distraction-free environment focused solely on store operations.
