Beskrivelse
Easy Store Management for WooCommerce turns the WordPress admin into a clean, focused store workspace: no posts, no pages, no plugin menus, no dashboard noise. Just orders, products and customers.
Easy Store Mode, on and off in one click
The simplified admin is a mode, not a life sentence. Pick which roles get it by default (Shop manager, out of the box) and everyone can flip it for themselves from a switch in the admin bar or from their user profile. An administrator who wants the calm store view gets it in one click, and gets the full WordPress back the same way.
Key features
- Clean interface: hides everything that is not store related, menus, dashboard widgets and admin bar items
- Reorganized menus: Orders and Customers get their own top-level menu, WooCommerce becomes «Store»
- Order shortcuts: an Orders menu in the admin bar with a counter of orders waiting for payment or on hold, one entry per status, and a search box to jump straight to an order by number or customer email
- Low stock warning: a heads-up in the admin bar when products drop below your WooCommerce low stock threshold, opening the products list filtered to what is running out
- Land where you work: log in and go straight to Orders instead of the Dashboard
- Quick user switching: look at the store through a customer account to reproduce a cart or checkout problem, and come back to your own account in one click
- Fully configurable: a settings page under WooCommerce where every one of the above can be turned on or off
- Menus in working order: Store, Orders, Products, Customers, Users, Withdrawals, Analytics and Marketing, with the Payments shortcut out of the way
- Plays well with your other plugins: the Users screen stays available so User Switching keeps working, the Consent log of Terms & Conditions Consent Log is reachable, and the Withdrawals screen of EU Withdrawal Compliance shows up for whoever has been given permission to handle requests
- HPOS ready: every order link points at the right screen whether your store uses High-Performance Order Storage or the classic one
About user switching
Site administrators can switch to any user they are allowed to edit, the usual WordPress rule. Anybody else, a shop manager in practice, needs an administrator to turn on the delegation setting first. Even then they can only reach accounts whose roles are all on the switchable list and that hold no administrative capability, so an administrator account is never reachable that way. If you already use the User Switching plugin, this feature steps aside and lets it do the work.
A note on what this plugin is
Hiding menus is about comfort and focus, not about security. What each person is allowed to do is still decided by their WordPress capabilities, exactly as before installing this plugin.

Ofte stilte spørsmål
-
Does this plugin affect administrators?
-
Not unless you want it to. By default only the Shop manager role gets Easy Store Mode. Any administrator can turn it on for themselves from the admin bar switch, and turn it off again the same way.
-
The Easy Store Mode switch stays in the admin bar the whole time, in both the dashboard and the front end. Click it and you are back to the full WordPress admin. Your own profile also has the setting.
-
Yes. The settings page lets you turn each piece on or off, and there is a box where you can list extra menus to keep visible, one slug per line.
-
Because a store needs it. It is what makes the User Switching plugin usable, so you can look at the store through a customer account, and it is where Terms & Conditions Consent Log puts its Consent log screen. Keeping the menu grants nothing: each person still sees and does only what their own role allows. You can hide it from the settings if you would rather not have it.
-
Is this a way to restrict what shop managers can do?
-
No, and it is worth being clear about it. This plugin changes what people see, not what they are allowed to do. Permissions are still WordPress capabilities. If you need real restrictions, use a role editor.
-
Can shop managers switch to another user?
-
Only if an administrator turns on the delegation setting, and even then only to accounts whose roles are all on the switchable list and that hold no administrative capability. Without that setting, switching is limited to site administrators. It is a deliberate, opt-in decision, and it can be taken back at any time.
-
Does it work with High-Performance Order Storage?
-
Yes. Every order link, menu and counter follows whichever order storage your store uses.
-
Will this work with other WooCommerce extensions?
-
Yes. The plugin preserves WooCommerce related menus and dashboard widgets from extensions, and third party plugins can declare their own dashboard widgets as store related with the
ayudawp_esm_is_woocommerce_widgetfilter. -
What happens if I deactivate WooCommerce?
-
The plugin shows an admin notice and stops applying any customization.

Endringslogg
2.0.0
- New: Settings page under WooCommerce. Everything the plugin used to do silently is now a setting: which roles get the simplified admin, what gets hidden, which shortcuts show up and who may switch user.
- New: Easy Store Mode can be turned on and off by each user, from a switch in the admin bar or from their profile. Until now the simplified admin was locked to the Shop manager role, with no way in for anybody else and no way out for them.
- New: Quick user switching. Look at the store through a customer account to reproduce a cart or checkout problem, and come back to your own account in one click, from the users list or straight from the order screen. Site administrators can always use it. Anybody else only if an administrator delegates it, and then only for accounts whose roles are all listed as switchable and that hold no administrative capability.
- New: Order search box inside the Orders menu of the admin bar, to jump to an order by number or customer email.
- New: Low stock warning in the admin bar, based on the WooCommerce low stock threshold. It opens a products list filtered to what is running out, lowest stock first, on the real products screen where stock can be edited, not on an analytics report.
- New: Optional landing screen after logging in, so store people go straight to Orders instead of the Dashboard.
- New: Store menus in the order a shop is worked in: Store, Orders, Products, Customers, Users, Withdrawals, Analytics and Marketing.
- New: The Users menu stays available, so switching to a customer with the User Switching plugin and the Consent log screen of Terms & Conditions Consent Log keep working. Nothing is granted: each person still sees and does only what their own role allows, and it can be turned off in the settings.
- Improved: The red counter on the Orders menu says what it adds up: the tooltip spells out the sum, and in the dropdown the two statuses it counts are the ones shown in red. Every status is a line of its own, in the order an order travels through them, and each one has its own colour.
- Improved: The dashboard panel was rebuilt around the figures a shop is actually run by, orders waiting, orders processing, products running out and products published, each one a link into that exact list. It now shows for everyone in Easy Store Mode, not only for whoever created the site, and it can still be dismissed.
- Improved: Deleting the plugin now removes its settings, its cached data and the per user preferences.
- Improved: Requires WordPress 6.5, which is what the «Requires Plugins» header the plugin already declared has always needed.
- Fix: The screen you are on is the menu that lights up. Orders, Customers and Analytics used to highlight the Store menu instead, because that is where WooCommerce registers those pages.
- Fix: The WooCommerce Payments menu is hidden in Easy Store Mode. It is only a shortcut into Settings, Payments, and it slipped through the WooCommerce allowance.
- Fix: Orders, «Add new order» and the admin bar order links pointed at the legacy order screen on stores using High-Performance Order Storage, the WooCommerce default since 8.2.
- Fix: A duplicated Orders menu showed up on sites not running in English, because the menu cleanup matched titles against the English word «order».
- Fix: Menus and submenus whose title contained the word «payment» could be removed by mistake, whatever plugin they belonged to. Menus are now matched by slug only.
- Fix: Removed extension points that were declared but never called, and a translation helper that always fell through to its own fallback list.
