 * Is there any way to disable plugins in the admin, but retain their links in the
   menus.
 * If i disable plugin ‘Follow-Up-Emails’ on the ‘Edit Posts’ page then i can no
   longer see the links to that plugin.
    It kinda minimizes the usability in the
   Admin Section.
 * great plugin for the front-end though
 * Thanx
    -Eli

 * Somedays here in the forum someone had recommended once exactly for this context
   a plugin. You need to rebuild the admin menu for this task. I personally do not
   know how good it is, but it should do exactly what you want: [https://adminmenueditor.com](https://adminmenueditor.com)

 * If you disable a plugin then the code it has to add the menu item is never called.
   IndikatorDesigns suggestion is probably the best way for you to do this.
