I am looking for a way to hide activity feed from the dashboard using a function. Does anyone know how to do this? I want to completely remove it. I want to achieve this without a plugin.
You can use remove_meta_box() like;
function remove_dashboard_widgets(){
remove_meta_box('dashboard_activity', 'dashboard', 'normal');
}
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_dashboard_widgets');
add above code to functions.php
Dashboard widgets and other meta boxes can also be removed by using the unset function. You might need to play around with the array keys, or use var_dump() to find the path for the widget you're looking for.
// Removes dashboard activity widget.
function remove_dashboard_activity_widget() {
global $wp_meta_boxes;
unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_activity']);
}
// Triggers dashboard widgets removal.
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_dashboard_activity_widget');
Additionally like Hüseyin BABAL mentioned, meta boxes can also be removed like this:
function remove_dashboard_widgets(){
remove_meta_box('dashboard_activity', 'dashboard', 'normal');
}
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_dashboard_widgets');
You'll either have to create a plugin or add a function to your theme functions.php file.
function remove_activity_dashboard_widget() {
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_activity', 'dashboard', 'side' );
}
// Hook into the 'wp_dashboard_setup' action to register our function
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_activity_dashboard_widget' );
Here is the codex page on the subject:

I'm trying to remove these areas from one of my custom taxonomies.
I've built them using the two plugins: Custom Post Types UI (to add them) and Advanced Custom Fields (to add fields to the taxonomy).
I can't see anything in the plugin settings to remove these things, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something.
I'm assuming I might need to add a function to the functions.php file. I've seen that hiding things using jQuery is a possibility, but I hear that this might show it initially on load and then hide it, so id like to learn how to doit properly.
I managed to get there with the link above and help from another website.
This function removed the two instances of the 'description' box:
function hide_description_row() {
echo "<style> .term-description-wrap { display:none; } </style>";
}
add_action( "measure_sectors_edit_form", 'hide_description_row');
add_action( "measure_sectors_add_form", 'hide_description_row');
and this one removed the column from the right hand side:
add_filter('manage_edit-measure_sectors_columns', function ( $columns ) {
if( isset( $columns['description'] ) )
unset( $columns['description'] );
return $columns;
});
To use with other taxonomies, just replace 'measure_sectors' with your own taxonomy slug
When logged in as an admin and looking at an Order in Woocommerce, there's a section with all the Custom Fields. Out of the whole list I only want it to display two of them. How do I hide the rest from this view? I don't want to delete them, but just hide from this view.
For every custom field you want hidden, add the following 4 lines of code to functions.php or using Snippets plugin:
add_filter('is_protected_meta', 'my_is_protected_meta_filter1', 10, 2);
function my_is_protected_meta_filter1($protected, $meta_key) {
return $meta_key == 'automatewoo_cart_id' ? true : $protected;
}
If you want to hide more than one, add the lines above again and change 'my_is_protected_meta_filter1' to 'my_is_protected_meta_filter2', etc
if you’re using ACF pro, there is a hook you can use to remove the field on the back end, but it’s not something that’s documented..
You could use a hook to remove specific field if is_admin() returns true.
You may need to play with this a bit to get it to work, the ACF hook is
acf/get_fields
So, for example:
add_filter('acf/get_fields', 'your_function_name', 20, 2);
function your_function_name($fields, $parent) {
// remove the fields you don't want
return $fields;
}
$fields can be a nested array of fields => sub_fields.
You need to set the priority > 10 to run after the internal ACF filter
For orders in Woocommerce the post type is 'shop_order', so your code should be:
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'remove_shop_order_meta_boxe', 90 );
function remove_shop_order_meta_boxe() {
remove_meta_box( 'postcustom', 'shop_order', 'normal' );
}
I am making a plugin which adds a bunch of pages to the admin view of WP. I'd really like to use Timber, specifically, the Twig templating functionality to render these pages.
While I have next to zero experience in WP and PHP in general, what attracts me to this approach is my previous familiarity with Django / Flask templates which allow me to extend a base template and specify blocks for header, content, footer. That seems trivial to do with Timber when using it to create a theme, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to make this setup work within a plugin. Sure, I can do something like this:
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'test_setup_menu' );
function test_setup_menu() {
add_menu_page(
'Tables',
'Tables',
'manage_options',
'test-tables',
'admin_page_test'
);
}
function admin_page_test() {
Timber::Render( 'test.twig');
}
But that of course will render test.twig with header and footer parts already populated from the theme. The issue specifically is that I want to be able to add information to the header or footer blocks. I know I can do this like so:
add_action('admin_head', 'add_to_head')
function add_to_head() {
...
}
But this is precisely the type of thing I'm trying to avoid, I wish to encapsulate this type of logic in a Twig template. Is there any way to make this work?
Here's an example of how to add a custom admin page for a plugin.
<?php
/**
* Plugin Name: Test Run
*/
add_action('admin_menu', 'admin_menu_cb');
function admin_menu_cb()
{
// Ref: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_menu_page/
add_menu_page('Test Run Admin Page', 'Test Run', 'manage_options', 'test-run', 'render_menu_page_cb', 'dashicons-schedule', 3);
}
function render_menu_page_cb()
{
Timber::$locations = __DIR__.'/views';
$data = [];
Timber::render('main.twig', $data);
}
For a more full example please see the below repo. I created it recently as a guide for anyone to use Timber in a wordpress plugin.

I am new to wordpress hooks and I am trying to delete a wordpress user using a custom action the plugin Restrict Content Pro provides.
(https://docs.restrictcontentpro.com/article/2054-group-accounts-actions-filters)
What I want to achieve: When a member is removed from a group, their account should be deleted.
Unfortunately my code doesn't work. Any ideas on how to modify it be highly appreciated!
function delete_group_user() {
wp_delete_user($user_id->ID );
}
add_action( 'rcpga_remove_member', 'delete_group_user' );
You are close, your function delete_group_user() does not have $user_id defined. Luckily, it looks like the rcpga_remove_member hook provides that information. Something like this should work:
function delete_group_user($user_id) {
wp_delete_user($user_id);
}
add_action( 'rcpga_remove_member', 'delete_group_user' );
Also, note from the documentation that $user_id is an INT not an object.
after creating taxonomies for a custom post type, they all show up in QuickEdit. I'm trying to hide them to use the menu for other custom fields but don't know how to do it. Appreciate for any help.
Even better, when registering the taxonomy, you can now pass this to the register_taxonomy function, as shown here:
'show_in_quick_edit' => false
This seems to be working since Wordpress 4.2.
A bit late to the party, but for future reference, you can use a filter for this since Wordpress 4.2.0: quick_edit_show_taxonomy. Much cleaner than the javascript approach :)
add_filter('quick_edit_show_taxonomy', 'listing_remove_taxonomy_from_quick_edit', 10, 3);
function remove_taxonomy_from_quick_edit($show_in_quick_edit, $taxonomy_name, $post_type) {
if ('post_type' === $post_type) {
return false;
}
return $show_in_quick_edit;
}
Hope this will work
Try doing by javascript. (I use jquery).
jQuery(document).ready(function($){'use strict';
if ($('.post-type-custom').length) {
$('.taxonomy-checklist').prev().prev().hide(); // to hide title
$('.taxonomy-checklist').hide(); //to hide box
} });
add this code to a js file (lets say customadmin.js and assume its in the js folder that is in the theme folder) and enqueue the file on admin side:
if(!function_exists('addstyle_to_admin')):
function addstyle_to_admin() {
if(is_admin()){
wp_enqueue_script('myadminpanelscript',get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/customadmin.js',array('jquery'),false,false);
}
}
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts','addstyle_to_admin');
endif;
