If you’re like me you built most of your client’s website with WordPress as a CMS. This works great for sites that have a blog, and even for sites that don’t. WordPress is a great way to give your clients a simple way to control all of the pages of their website.
A stock install of WordPress gives you some things that your client won’t need for their site, and will only confuse them. One of these things is the “Links” Menu in the Admin. If you’re creating a simple site with WordPress as a CMS your client isn’t going to need this blogroll functionality, and you’ll be stuck explaining what it is to them.
Luckily you can easily remove the links menu by adding the following to the functions file of your WordPress theme:
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'my_admin_menu' );
function my_admin_menu() {
remove_menu_page('link-manager.php');
