About this plugin
Your client’s WordPress. Simplified.
FreelanceHero Client Manager helps designers prepare a focused WordPress admin menu for a single client account (Owner). Select the Owner, choose visible native modules, and save. The Owner keeps their existing WordPress role and capabilities.
- One Owner, simple setup: choose one existing WordPress user as the client.
- Native WordPress modules: select what the Owner sees based on available capabilities.
- Individual plugin menu entries: for Owners with the native Administrator role, select individual third-party menu items and submenus without configuring those plugins.
- WooCommerce Shop Manager: offers detectable WooCommerce menu entries when the role and capabilities allow it. Availability varies with WooCommerce setup.
- Designer account: the configuring administrator keeps their full menu and is excluded from Owner selection.
- Menu preview: see the selected navigation before saving.
- Reversible: deactivate the plugin to restore the regular admin menu.
This plugin controls menu visibility only. It does not change user roles, capabilities, WordPress security, or third-party plugin functionality. Hiding a menu item does not prevent access to its URL where the user’s WordPress permissions allow it.
The plugin’s own configuration is restricted to the designated Designer account; an Owner cannot use that configuration screen. An Owner who is a WordPress Administrator still retains all native administrator privileges.
Optional information about the full FH Client Manager is shown on this plugin’s own settings page: https://freelancehero.dev/
