Hide Events Tab from Subscribers' WP Dashboard/Admin

[Peter Hoppe]

Hi, how can I disable/hide the Events tab in the WP dashboard for logged in subscribers. (It should still show of course for admins.) I only want subscribers to be able to submit community events via the front-end.

(I have v3.9.1 of Events Calendar and 3.9 of Community Events)

Thanks,
Peter

FYI: I have found the tutorial for hiding the Events tab from the Admin Top Bar, but nothing for removing it from the sidebar (next to Profile and Dashboard).

Hi Peter,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

There are a few ways to accomplish it, but they will require PHP and WordPress knowledge.

I would suggest you to go with the Admin Menu Editor, a plugin that I find very useful when I have to hide something from a certain type of users on my own sites.

It’s pretty cool, just install it and you can hide whatever menus you need from a specific type of user.

My Best Regards,

Yeah, I prefer not to keep adding plugins when a little code to functions.php will do the trick. Here’s what I added for now – it’s not perfect but hides the tab for now. Is there a way I can improve this? While this code hides the tab, there is still a small gap between the Dashboard and Profile tabs.

function scents_remove_events() {
if ( !current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) ) {
remove_menu_page( ‘edit.php?post_type=tribe_events’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘scents_remove_events’ );

Hi Peter,

I’ve crafted a small plugins based on the code you provided me. Just access the URL and follow the instructions there and you should be good to go.

PS: This plugin acts as a <b>functions.php</b> snippet, but with the power of the “Activation” from WordPress.
