The new WordPress 3.0 menu system is pretty powerful and provides some very interesting new options for creating menus in WordPress. Previously, I have always used wp_list_pages and a custom Walker class to provide hierarchical menus based on the page structure, but that’s a topic for another post.

Back in June I posted about tidying up the WordPress admin dashboard. Recently I got a comment on that article asking if the admin menu could be altered for different users in a similar way. This turned out to be ever-so-slightly more complicated that I expected because there is no way to distinguish between the permission to edit and the permission to add a page or post. However, like most things in WordPress with a bit of graft it’s usually possible!
