## Description

Rabietta Admin Menu Organizer helps site owners turn a crowded WordPress dashboard
into a clear menu that non-technical users can navigate confidently.

The visual editor starts from the admin menu already registered by WordPress and
installed plugins. Arrange it in three compact columns:

 1. Top-level menus
 2. Direct links or groups
 3. Links inside a group

Main features:

 * Reorder existing WordPress admin links with drag and drop.
 * Build native three-level navigation without replacing wp-admin.
 * Create custom top-level menus, groups, and visual separators at every level.
 * Rename visible labels without changing their original destinations.
 * Hide menus, groups, or links without deleting their saved positions.
 * Apply one organized layout to selected roles while preserving WordPress capabilities.
 * Keep native menu icons, supported plugin icons, and notification counters where
   possible.
 * Detect newly registered admin links and make them available in the editor.
 * Move Menu Organizer itself to any supported level while keeping a protected recovery
   path.
 * Recover the full WordPress menu from the admin bar, a URL switch, or a server
   constant.
 * Fall back to accessible link pages when the enhanced third level cannot run.

The plugin does not add telemetry or connect to a Rabietta service.

Important: hiding a menu item changes navigation only. It does not revoke access
to the destination. Use WordPress roles and capabilities for access control.

For predictable results, use only one admin-menu editor at a time.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP from **Plugins
    > Add New > Upload Plugin**.
 2. Activate **Rabietta Admin Menu Organizer**.
 3. Open **Menu Organizer** in the WordPress admin menu.
 4. Review the menu detected from WordPress and installed plugins.
 5. Create parents, groups, or separators and arrange links across the three columns.
 6. Select the roles that should receive the organized menu.
 7. Select **Enable organized menu** when you are ready for the selected roles to use
    it, then save.

Activation alone does not change the admin menu. The organized layout is applied
only after an administrator enables and saves it.

## FAQ

### Does activating the plugin immediately change wp-admin?

No. The plugin starts disabled and does not reorganize the menu until an administrator
explicitly enables and saves a valid layout.

### Does the plugin create separators automatically?

No. New layouts start without separators. Add them manually only where they improve
navigation. Existing separators that you created are preserved.

### How do I change the plugin language?

The interface follows the language selected in your WordPress user profile. Open**
Users > Profile > Language** to change it. If no user language is selected, WordPress
uses the site language from **Settings > General**.

### Does hiding a link remove the user’s permission to open it?

No. Hiding is a navigation preference, not an access-control feature. WordPress 
capabilities continue to determine whether a user can open a screen directly.

### Can I apply the menu to more than one role?

Yes. Select any available roles in the settings screen. All selected roles use the
same layout, and WordPress removes links that each user is not allowed to access.

### What happens when another plugin adds a new admin page?

The new link appears as unorganized and can be added from the access picker. Saved
links from an unavailable plugin remain identifiable in the editor but are not rendered
as working menu links.

### How can I recover the original WordPress menu?

Administrators can use **Full menu** in the admin bar. They can also add `?rabietta_menu_full
=1` to a wp-admin URL for a temporary full-menu view, or define `RABIETTA_ADMIN_MENU_ORGANIZER_DISABLE`
as `true` in `wp-config.php`.

### Can I use this with another admin-menu editor?

Using two menu organizers at the same time can produce unpredictable results. Disable
the other organizer before applying a Rabietta layout.

### Does the plugin send any site or user data to Rabietta?

No. The menu configuration is stored in the site’s WordPress database and the plugin
does not include telemetry or require an external account.

### Does the editor work without JavaScript?

JavaScript is required for the visual three-column editor. The organized admin menu
includes fallback pages so saved links remain reachable if the enhanced third-level
interaction cannot run.
