Title: [Plugin: Flutter] Hide Flutter Write Panels Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Flutter] Hide Flutter Write Panels * Resolved [David Calhoun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpcalhoun/) * (@dpcalhoun) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-flutter-write-panels/) * So far I love Flutter. It seems like an awesome way to provide some more CMS control for pages. I’ve used it to create custom layouts for pages with multiple editable areas. * I was wondering if it possible to hide the link that is created on the left in the Admin Panel. Every time you create a write panel it makes a new “button” for that write Panel. It is put in the same area as the Posts, Media, Links, Pages and Comments buttons are held. * As far as I have been able to find, Flutter’s settings allows you to “hide” the default Posts and Pages buttons in the Admin panel, but it won’t let you hide the new write panel buttons the plug-in creates. I’d like to create these new Write Panels for specific pages, but I don’t want the buttons to show up. I want the client to only use the Pages button. * The problem is if I create tons of custom Write Panels for different pages, then there will be tons of extra buttons on the Admin Panel that I don’t need. Anyone know if you can stop these from being added to the Admin Panel?

They have a solution to the problem above. The guys at Magic Fields are moving a lot faster in development and are very helpful in their forums. * [http://magicfields.org/](http://magicfields.org/) * [relish1227](https://wordpress.org/support/users/relish1227/) * (@relish1227) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-flutter-write-panels/#post-1235284) * I am curious about Magic Fields and will try it out. However, I had a site already built with Flutter and needed to remove some write panels that only some users should see — and it turns out Flutter is built to work with this Role Manager plugin. * So once I created a new role group and assigned users to it — then I was able to get the left navigation only showing the write panel buttons that that group should have access to. * Thread Starter [David Calhoun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpcalhoun/) * (@dpcalhoun) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-flutter-write-panels/#post-1235285) * Magic Fields supports the use of Role Manager as well. I highly recommend switching to Magic Fields. The developers are actively developing this plugin, unlike the Flutter guys. * [paulmitchellkelly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulmitchellkelly/) * (@paulmitchellkelly) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-flutter-write-panels/#post-1235293) * Hi David, big fan of Magic Fields also but I have the issue with all the extra buttons appearing in the Admin Panel that I don’t need. I can use another plugin to tidy up the admin navigation but it’s not ideal. You mentioned a solution to this issue can be found on [http://magicfields.org/](http://magicfields.org/) but I can’t find it? Do you have a direct link for this solution at all?

Sometimes the simple answers are easy to overlook. * Thread Starter [David Calhoun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpcalhoun/) * (@dpcalhoun) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-flutter-write-panels/#post-1235295) * Paul, I’m glad to hear you found the solution. _Condense Menu_ is exactly what you were looking for. * [Ben](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jahwork10/) * (@jahwork10) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-flutter-write-panels/#post-1235296) * Hey guys. Just thought I’d mention that I’ve switched from Flutter to Magic Fields too and have found the white-label-cms plugin to work in beautifully with it. Basically it lets you hide all the other less-used admin navigation links, so you can strip it right down to only Magic Fields showing – great for client’s websites. * Thread Starter [David Calhoun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpcalhoun/) * (@dpcalhoun) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-flutter-write-panels/#post-1235297) * Thanks for the tip jahwork10. Here’s the plugin URL if someone comes looking for it. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/white-label-cms/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/white-label-cms/) * [paulmitchellkelly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulmitchellkelly/) * (@paulmitchellkelly) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-flutter-write-panels/#post-1235298) * Thanks guys. I use the admin menu editor ([http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-menu-editor/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-menu-editor/)) for full customisation of the menu but will definitely give White Label CMS a bash to make the admin really sparkle clean for my clients!

I’m probably going to use a combination of these plugins for admin panel branding and access control. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Flutter] Hide Flutter Write Panels’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [custom write panels](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/custom-write-panels/) * [Flutter](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/flutter/) * [hide](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/hide/) * 10 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [David Calhoun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpcalhoun/) * Last activity: [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-flutter-write-panels/#post-1235299) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
