Topic Tag: Custom roles

Problem: I have a custom user role that has access to the WooCommerce admin menu. I would like to remove the "Settings" and "Extensions" submenu items from the WooCommerce admin menu for this user role.

Solution: Add the following code to your functions.php file:

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_menu_pages', 999);
function remove_menu_pages() {
  global $current_user;
  
  $user_roles = $current_user->roles;
  $user_role = array_shift($user_roles);
  if($user_role == "user-role-slug") {
    $remove_submenu = remove_submenu_page('woocommerce', 'wc-settings');
    $remove_submenu = remove_submenu_page('woocommerce', 'wc-addons');
  }
}

Edit "user-role-slug" to use the proper slug for your custom user role, and add or remove $remove_submenu lines to remove the desired page submenus. The slugs for each page can be found in wp-admin URLs as shown in the attached screenshot below.
