Overview
This plugin does exactly what the title says, when activated it will remove the Tools menu from your WordPress Admin navigation menu. If you need import, export or if any of your plugins add sub-items into it, simply deactivate the plugin, do your thing, then re-enable the Remove Tools Menu plugin to remove Tools menu item again and keep it out of your way. NOTE: there are certain plugins that add things to the Tools menu… those obviously won’t show up either but the plugin still does what it was built to do. Have fun.
