 > Hello @niau and welcome to trac.
 >
 > Looking at your example, you are calling the function `remove_menu_page`
 during the `admin_init` action.
 > According to
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/remove_menu_page
 /#more-information the documentation for this function], you should be
 using the `admin_menu` action instead to avoid the error.
 > The `admin_init` action is too early, and the menu is not ready to be
 manipulated at this point.
 >
 > Can you try to change the hook and see if you still have the issue ?

 Thanks, switching to 'admin_menu' solved my problem.
