I was wondering how to remove the posts section from the wordpress admin sidebar (see image below)
you will be needing to edit functions.php for this and add some code in that. This section of posts lies as edit.php
See the official wordpress codex documentation for remove_menu_page() function to understand better. Doc states function usage as:
<?php remove_menu_page( $menu_slug ) ?>
Here $menu_slug is edit.php for post menu.
Now create your own function called post_remove() and add code in functions.php as:
function post_remove ()
{
remove_menu_page('edit.php');
}
The next part is to hook your post_remove() function with a specific action which in this case is admin_menu to trigger this function. For that, add some more code in functions.php:
add_action('admin_menu', 'post_remove');
So in short, following is complete code that you need to add in your functions.php file:
function post_remove () //creating functions post_remove for removing menu item
{
remove_menu_page('edit.php');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'post_remove'); //adding action for triggering function call

I hope this helps! Please do me a favor - vote up for my answer and mark it accepted.
add this function to your functions.php
function remove_menu ()
{
remove_menu_page('edit.php');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_menu');

Is it possible to get the current page id and page title inside the current themes functions.php?.
Note: I'm not referring post id.
I have tried following functions inside the themes->twentytwentytwo->functions.php file and did not work.
prin_r(the_title());
print_r(get_queried_object_id());
print_r(get_the_title());
From what I understand functions.php is included too early to use $post or get_queried_object_id().
What I've done before is create a function in functions.php that you can call in your template and pass it the id or the title.
For instance in your functions.php:
function myPage($pageId, $pageTitle) {
//Do whatever you want and return the result
}
Then in your template just call the function:
<?php
$myPage(get_the_ID(), get_the_title());
?>
Hope it helps
I am working on a plugin that will be used to add a customized form of Acuity Scheduling for a specific page. I want to add the scheduling form after the menu and page title on one particular page. Here is my current code:
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'check_if_acuity_page');
function check_if_acuity_page(){
if(is_page('Schedule Page')){
add_action( 'add to acuity', 'display_acuity_scheduling_api');
}
}
function display_acuity_scheduling_api(){
echo '<div style="margin-top: 25px;">"Code to add Acuity Schedule to page"</div>';
}
The 'add to acuity' is a custom action hook that is currently added in the header.php file of the theme I am using. It adds the schedule at the very top of the page currently, so I can at least get it on the proper page, but it is located above the Menu and Title for the page. I am working on creating a custom layout and using PHP code to modify the page depending on what the user chooses, which is why I am not just using a simple embed code.
I am new to Wordpress Plugins and Hooks so I am not sure if I am supposed to be using an action or filter hook for this. Any help would be very appreciated.
To add code just before content which is below page title use following code:
function check_if_acuity_page(){
if(is_page('Schedule Page')){
echo '<div style="margin-top: 25px;">"Code to add Acuity Schedule to page"</div>';}
}
function add_code_before_content($content){
$acuity_page = check_if_acuity_page();
$content = $acuity_page.$content;
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content','add_code_before_content');
Hope this helps.
WordPress action hooks are a means of providing a way for other developers to insert their own code in specific locations within your code, in order to change or expand the functionality of your code.
So in this case you should be using an action hook.
The concept of filters and hooks is explained in this article.
So by placing the add_action function in your template after the menu and page title you can hook onto it with a function.
In your page template after the menu and page title:
add_action( 'add to acuity', 'check_if_acuity_page');
In your functions.php:
function check_if_acuity_page() {
if(is_page('Schedule Page')) {
echo '<div style="margin-top: 25px;">"Code to add Acuity Schedule to page"</div>';
}
}
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 looking for a WP function that add the Read-only parameter to all Pages's Titles's input, that will make the Page's title unalterable.
Thanks a lot in advance.
This can be accomplished with some simple JavaScript/jQuery. Create a file called admin_title_disable.js, and queue it up within functions.php. For example:
functions.php:
wp_register_script('admin_title_disable', '/path/to/admin_title_disable.js');
function disableAdminTitle () {
wp_enqueue_script('admin_title_disable');
}
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'disableAdminTitle');
Now, in your js file:
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$('#title').attr('disabled','disabled');
});
This will set both post and page title input fields with a disabled attribute. Hope this helps!
If you want to restrict this script to a particular admin page, wrap the add_action hook in a conditional that compares $_GET['page']. You can also take advantage of the $hook parameter that is available when using admin_enqueue_scripts to check for the page. See here.
Update::
WordPress makes it a little tricky to tell between post and page edit screens, but there is a hidden input that you can take advantage of. :) Here's an updated version of the jQuery that will only run on page edit screens:
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
//find the hidden post type input, and grab the value
if($('#post_type').val() === 'page'){
$('#title').attr('disabled','disabled');
}
});
No need to make a seperate js file. Adding this to your function.php will do the same that Matthew showed.
function admin_footer_hook(){
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(jQuery('#post_type').val() === 'post'){
jQuery('#title').prop('disabled', true);
}
</script>
<?php
}
add_action( 'admin_footer-post.php', 'admin_footer_hook' );
This Solution Will disable clicking on the post title and editing it using CSS. CSS targets post type "page" only. It has been tested on Gutenberg visual editor. Users Can still edit title from "Quick Edit".
Add this code to your functions.php file.
function disable_title_edit() {
if(!current_user_can('administrator')){
if( !current_user_can('administrator')){ ////Only allow Admin
echo '<style>.post-type-page .edit-post-visual-editor__post-title-wrapper{
pointer-events: none;
}</style>'; } }
}
add_action('admin_head', 'disable_title_edit', 100);
I am using a wordpress theme with two sidebars. I want to disable one for them for a specific page but the code I found regarding disabling sidebar by applying check on function:
<?php get_sidebar() ?>
It will disable both of them. How can I disable one of them only. with the other sidebar working.
Please help!!!!
You can simply for example
<?php if (!is_page('about-me')) get_sidebar(); ?>
This will disable sidebar on about me page. If you put this on page.php (if have any) otherwise put this on index.php. Here 'about-me' is page slug but you can also use page id like is_page(5) and as well as page title too. To check multiple page using slug, id and title you can use an array like
is_page(array(42,'about-me','Contact'));
For more about is_page() function see http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page
Or using filter in functions.php, simply put this in functions.php
function disable_footer_widgets( $sidebars_widgets )
{
if (is_single())
{
$sidebars_widgets['footer'] = false;
}
return $sidebars_widgets;
}
add_filter( 'sidebars_widgets', 'disable_footer_widgets' );
This is just an example, you have to change widget name.
