Hide Really Simple SSL from Clients

Agencies often struggle with Really Simple SSL because of clients disabling ssl enforcement. Here is how to fix it.

The Problem with Really Simple SSL for Clients

While Really Simple SSL 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)

Really Simple SSL has a big 'Deactivate SSL' button on the settings page. That's not something clients should see, let alone click. Make the menu admin-only and avoid SSL emergencies.

With Client Calm, you just:

1. Install the plugin.
2. Go to the Menu Manager.
3. Toggle off the Really Simple SSL menus you want to hide.

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