The abcon/settings/show_admin hook provides a flexible way for developers to control the visibility of the plugin’s admin menu. This hook allows you to customize the admin interface based on specific conditions, such as user roles or custom logic.

Example 1: Hiding the Menu Completely #

If you want to hide the admin menu entirely, you can use the following code snippet. This code should be added to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin:

function custom_abcon_hide_menu($show_menu) {
    return false; // This will hide the menu
}
add_filter('abcon/settings/show_admin', 'custom_abcon_hide_menu');

By returning false, the menu will be hidden from all users.

Example 2: Displaying the Menu Based on User Role #

You can also conditionally display the menu based on the user’s role. For example, if you want only administrators to see the menu, you can use the following code:

function custom_abcon_show_menu_for_admins($show_menu) {
    if (!current_user_can('administrator')) {
        return false; // Hide the menu for non-administrators
    }
    return $show_menu; // Show the menu for administrators
}
add_filter('abcon/settings/show_admin', 'custom_abcon_show_menu_for_admins');

This code checks the user’s role and only shows the menu to administrators. Non-administrators will not see the menu.
