I have a custom role “lap_manager” based on “editor” that I have enabled the capability “edit_theme_options” to allow access to edit the menus. However this then also enables Themes, Widgets, Customizer and GeneratePress.

I have been able remove Widgets and Themes with the following, can could hide the Customizer with CSS, but can’t work out how to remove GeneratePress.

// Hide Menus from lap_manager role
function hide_menu() {

  if ( current_user_can( 'lap_manager' ) ) {
    // Hide theme selection page
    remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'themes.php' );

    // Hide widgets page
    remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'widgets.php' );

    // Hide customize page (alternative method)
    global $submenu;
    unset($submenu['themes.php'][6]);
  }
}

add_action('admin_menu', 'hide_menu'); // Changed hook to 'admin_menu'

Try this:

function hide_menu() {
    if ( current_user_can( 'lap_manager' ) ) {
	//hide themes
	remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'themes.php' );

        //hide widgets
        remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'widgets.php' );

	//hide generatepress
	remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'generate-options' );
		
        //hide Customizer, assuming customizer is the 6th menu 
       global $submenu;
       foreach ( $submenu['themes.php'] as $key => $item ) {
           if ( isset( $item[6] ) ) {
               unset( $submenu['themes.php'][$key] );
               break; 
           }		 
       }		 
    }
}

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