Restrict Ninja Forms to Admins Only

Agencies often struggle with Ninja Forms because of editors modifying form submissions. Here is how to fix it.

The Problem with Ninja Forms for Clients

While Ninja Forms is a powerful tool, it often presents too many options to the end-user. Clients logging in to manage their site are often overwhelmed by the sheer number of menu items and settings. This leads to:

• Confusion about where to go to perform simple tasks.
• "I broke the site" support tickets.
• A perception that WordPress is "clunky" or "hard to use".

The Manual Way (Hard)

You could try to use custom code in `functions.php` to hide these menus based on user roles. This requires maintaining code snippets, updating them when the plugin changes, and risking breaking the backend if you make a syntax error.

The Client Calm Way (Easy)

Ninja Forms shows all form submissions in the WordPress admin. Depending on your forms, this could include sensitive data clients shouldn't access. Make form management admin-only.

With Client Calm, you just:

1. Install the plugin.
2. Go to the Menu Manager.
3. Toggle off the Ninja Forms menus you want to hide.

It's that simple. No code, no maintenance.
