Biggest opportunity: Add “declutter”, “items” and “hide menu items” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #5 and #8 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 10.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,186 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Add “declutter”, “items” and “hide menu items” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #5 and #8 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “admin menu”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “customization menu”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “hide menu”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Easy and intuitive

Simple to use, lightweight and secure!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ internass1.3y ago
Brilliant and Really handy, simple to use and ideal for making certain things not visible for users who I don’t want them to press on something they shouldn’t . Of course they can change it back to visible but most will not. I had certain plugins that only work with a admin account so I had to give certain users the admin but did not want them to go to areas they shouldn’t. Also a large expanded menu is just too confusing for them. This simplifies it

Thank you! Very clever and easy to use. Would be cool if this plugin could also function as a “admin-menu-declutter-plugin” and be used for sorting plugins into folders. For example a folder for all WooCommerce-plugins in one folder, all Media related-plugins in another folder etc. Just a thought!

This is SUCH a clever and simple little plugin. A pity they didn’t include this simple instruction on the download: “After activating the plugin, you hover over an unwanted items icon in the Dashboard which brings up the HIDE icon. Each removed item is accessible via the top toolbar that has a ON/OFF toggle. Couldn’t be simpler. Amazing plugin, such a timesaver!”

I really like the interface that you only need to click an eye icon to hide a certain menu. There is also a switch toggle to on and off switching from the modified menus to the original one and vice versa. Keep it up!
