remove plugin admin menu in wordpress without installing plugin in v3.8.1

Question

I follow instruction on this page to remove some admin menus: remove_menu_page()

But is seems it only works on default admin menus. Admin menu added by plugins is not getting removed.

For example, I tried removing admin menu of wordpress seo by yoast using

remove_menu_page( 'admin.php?page=wpseo_dashboard' );

But the menu remains there. All other standard WordPress admin menus were removed except Yoast SEO.

Any idea how can I also remove admin menu of plugins?

I saw some similar questions but the recommended codes doesn't seem to be 3.8.1 compatible so I added this question to start a new fresh question specific to 3.8.1

Answer 1

add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_wpseo_admin_menu_links');

function remove_wpseo_admin_menu_links(){

remove_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'wpseo_admin_bar_menu', 95 );

remove_menu_page( 'wpseo_dashboard' );


}
