After a recent update to the popular Hello theme by Elementor, a new Hello menu item appeared in the WordPress admin panel. It leads to additional theme settings such as SEO, layout, and styling options. If you don’t plan to use these features or simply want to clean up your interface, this menu item can be easily removed.

🔧 Solution

To remove the Hello menu item from the WordPress admin dashboard, you just need to add a small code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file (preferably a child theme), or use a plugin like Code Snippets.

✅ Code to Remove the Menu:

add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_hello_elementor_menu', 999);

function remove_hello_elementor_menu() {
    remove_menu_page('hello-elementor');
}

📌 Explanation:

• admin_menu is the hook that runs when building the admin menu.
• remove_menu_page() removes the specified top-level menu item.
• 'hello-elementor' is the slug used by the Hello theme to register the menu.

🚀 How to Apply It:

Method 1: Through functions.php

1. Go to Appearance → Theme File Editor.
2. Open your theme’s functions.php file.
3. Paste the code at the bottom and save the changes.

Method 2: Using the Code Snippets Plugin

1. Install and activate Code Snippets.
2. Create a new snippet, paste the code, and activate it.

✅ Result

After refreshing the admin page, the Hello menu item will be gone, leaving your dashboard cleaner.
