You Can Now Edit Admin Menus With PublishPress Capabilities

In the latest version of PublishPress Capabilities Pro, you can now rename, redesign and rearrange your WordPress admin menus.

Previously, it was possible to control who could access each admin menu. Now you can change the name and icon for each menu link. You can also re-arrange the order of the links.

This screenshot below shows the new “Admin Menus” screen. On the right side are new icons that allow you to modify the links.

Every time you make one of these changes, you can decide whether to do it for one user role, or all users on your site.
