=== Remove Tools Menu === Contributors: ryno267 Donate link: https://cash.me/$chuckreynolds Tags: admin, tools, tool menu, tools menu, remove tools, admin menu Requires at least: 3.2 Tested up to: 4.9 Stable tag: 2.3.1 Super simple plugin to remove the Tools menu from WordPress Admin Menu == Description == This plugin does exactly what the title says, when activated it will remove the Tools menu from your WordPress Admin navigation menu. If you need import, export, the old press-this bookmarklet, or if any of your plugins add items into it, simply deactivate the plugin, do your thing, then re-enable the Remove Tools Menu plugin to remove Tools again and keep it out of your way. NOTE: there are certain plugins that add things to the Tools menu... those obviously won't show up either but the plugin still does what it was built to do. Have fun. == Installation == 1. Upload the `remove-tools-menu` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate the Remove Tools Menu plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress == Frequently Asked Questions == = Why did you create this as a plugin? = Why not? In all the WP sites I've ever had I think I've only used the Import/Export thing like four times ever. For everyday normal use I got tired of it getting in my way. I created this plugin to share as others may want to hide it until needed. == Changelog == = 2.3.1 = Release Date - 2017-11-24 * tested to WP 4.9 = 2.3 = Release Date - 2017-03-29 * tested up to WP 4.8 * security so it's not accessed directly w/o wp loading = 2.2 = * tested to wp 4.2 = 2.0 = * changed filter when plugin runs - was causing issues with media library display from post insert * also took out legacy crap and made this plugin require WP version 3.1+ = 1.2 = * Updated to admin_init action hook. Works either way but the new correct way is init. * Little code cleanup and readme update * No new features, does the same thing :) = 1.1 = * Now checks if remove_menu_page function exists and uses that if it does and will default to older method if not. = 1.0 = * Initial release
