Clean up and reorganize your WordPress and WooCommerce admin menus. Hide clutter, build custom rules, and simplify the dashboard instantly.

== Description ==

**Precise Expressions Admin Menu Reorganizer Lite** helps you tame the chaos of the WordPress dashboard. It is designed for shop managers and developers who want a cleaner, more logical backend interface.

### Simplify Your WordPress & WooCommerce Admin Menus
If you manage a WooCommerce store or build sites for clients, the left-hand admin menu can quickly become overwhelmed with plugin settings and notifications. This lightweight, framework-free tool allows you to hide unnecessary items, group similar menus, and create a focused workspace.

### Lite Features
* **Catalog Hub for WooCommerce (built-in):** Instantly declutters your e-commerce dashboard by adding a visual **Catalog** hub under WooCommerce with quick links to Products, Categories, Orders, Payments, Analytics, and Marketing.
* **Custom Rule Builder:** From **Settings > Precise Expressions Admin Menu Reorganizer Lite**, create up to two custom menu rules to move top-level admin items under a selected parent menu.
* **Comments Cleanup (built-in):** Automatically moves the **Comments** menu item inside **Posts** to reduce root-level menu clutter.
* **Smart Alias Redirects:** Keeps moved items usable by safely redirecting aliases to their new destination screens.
* **Lightweight and Safe:** No heavy drag-and-drop dependencies, and guaranteed clean removal upon uninstall.

### Unlock Unlimited Control with Pro
Need full control over every dashboard item? **[Upgrade to Admin Menu Reorganizer Pro](https://software.preciseexpressions.com.au/product/admin-menu-reorganizer-pro/)** to unlock:
* **Unlimited Rules:** Create an unlimited number of custom organization rules.
* **Advanced Flyout Menus:** Build larger grouped structures for Settings, Tools, Plugins, and other admin sections.
* **WooCommerce Cleanup:** Consolidate WooCommerce sections like Analytics, Marketing, and Payments into a cleaner structure.
* **Broader Plugin Taming:** Move third-party plugin menus out of the top-level sidebar for a more focused admin experience.
* **Professional Icons:** Assign custom icons to your newly consolidated menus.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `precise-expressions-admin-menu-reorganizer-lite` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Go to **Settings > Precise Expressions Admin Menu Reorganizer Lite** to view the active features and build your rules.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this delete my menus? =
No. It simply hides or moves them. If you deactivate the plugin, everything returns to normal immediately.

= Can I customize the menu order manually? =
Yes. The Lite version includes a settings-page rule builder that lets you add up to 2 custom menu rules, plus the built-in Comments and Catalog features. The Pro version removes the 2-rule cap and supports unlimited custom rules and advanced grouping.
