Works on Multisite.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-works-on-multisite/)󠁿 [Jennifer Moss](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mossifer/) April 15, 2019 This is exactly what I was looking for to hide some menu items on one site but not another. Works perfectly with multisite. Easy to use with default roles, or use a separate custom role plugin to create custom roles. Thanks! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ceae1985b09e8405dc16967460b69878d33a158bc0fb9adab1264a61f7024a8b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-21327/)󠁿 [ACh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ach1992/) March 26, 2019 I love this plugin.
