Hide the current page’s menu item dynamically with advanced options for user roles, menu locations, and post types. Clean, fast, and fully theme-safe.

== Description ==

**Hide Current Page From Menu – Advanced** is a lightweight WordPress plugin that automatically hides the menu item corresponding to the current page, post, or custom post type.  
It works dynamically — no need to edit your menus manually — and supports nested menu structures, specific menu locations, and role-based visibility.

**Perfect for:**  
- Hiding the “current” page to simplify navigation  
- Restricting certain menus for logged-in or logged-out users  
- Keeping dynamic menus clean without coding
