How to hide particular menu such as pages, comments from admin dashboard

Paula

I want to hide the Comments, Appearance and Plugins menu from the admin dashboard for a particular user. Let's say I have a user with the login username john. How do I hide the desired menus for this particular user?

You can use the remove_menu_page() to hide the particular page. And wp_get_current_user() function will returns the currently logged in user.

See the codes below to hide the menus for john.

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'wp0798_remove_menus' );
function wp0798_remove_menus() {

    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    
    if( $current_user->user_login == "john" ) {
        remove_menu_page( 'edit-comments.php' );
        remove_menu_page( 'themes.php' );
        remove_menu_page( 'plugins.php' );
    }
}
