Thanks Jhay,
Doing that dump didn’t show anything but if I put a dump in the “remove_metaboxes()” function at the start I get the following:
private function remove_metaboxes()
{
global $wp_meta_boxes;
var_dump($wp_meta_boxes); exit;
array(1) { ["dashboard"]=> array(2) { ["normal"]=> array(4) { ["high"]=> array(1) { ["dashboard_recent_comments"]=> bool(false) } ["core"]=> array(5) { ["dashboard_recent_comments"]=> bool(false) ["dashboard_site_health"]=> array(4) { ["id"]=> string(21) "dashboard_site_health" ["title"]=> string(18) "Site Health Status" ["callback"]=> string(24) "wp_dashboard_site_health" ["args"]=> array(1) { ["__widget_basename"]=> string(18) "Site Health Status" } } ["dashboard_right_now"]=> array(4) { ["id"]=> string(19) "dashboard_right_now" ["title"]=> string(11) "At a Glance" ["callback"]=> string(22) "wp_dashboard_right_now" ["args"]=> array(1) { ["__widget_basename"]=> string(11) "At a Glance" } } ["dashboard_activity"]=> array(4) { ["id"]=> string(18) "dashboard_activity" ["title"]=> string(8) "Activity" ["callback"]=> string(26) "wp_dashboard_site_activity" ["args"]=> array(1) { ["__widget_basename"]=> string(8) "Activity" } } ["custom_vum_widget0"]=> array(4) { ["id"]=> string(18) "custom_vum_widget0" ["title"]=> string(4) "TEST" ["callback"]=> array(2) { [0]=> object(Welcome_Messages_Html)#3075 (2) { ["key":"Welcome_Messages_Html":private]=> int(0) ["settings":"Welcome_Messages_Html":private]=> array(7) { ["is_active"]=> string(1) "1" ["visible_to"]=> array(5) { [0]=> string(13) "administrator" [1]=> string(6) "editor" [2]=> string(6) "author" [3]=> string(11) "contributor" [4]=> string(10) "subscriber" } ["template_type"]=> string(4) "html" ["page_id_elementor"]=> string(0) "" ["page_id_beaver"]=> string(0) "" ["title"]=> string(4) "TEST" ["description"]=> string(0) "" } } [1]=> string(19) "welcome_description" } ["args"]=> array(2) { ["desc"]=> string(0) "" ["__widget_basename"]=> string(4) "TEST" } } } ["default"]=> array(1) { ["dashboard_recent_comments"]=> bool(false) } ["low"]=> array(1) { ["dashboard_recent_comments"]=> bool(false) } } ["side"]=> array(1) { ["core"]=> array(2) { ["dashboard_quick_press"]=> array(4) { ["id"]=> string(21) "dashboard_quick_press" ["title"]=> string(97) "Quick Draft Your Recent Drafts" ["callback"]=> string(24) "wp_dashboard_quick_press" ["args"]=> array(1) { ["__widget_basename"]=> string(97) "Quick Draft Your Recent Drafts" } } ["dashboard_primary"]=> array(4) { ["id"]=> string(17) "dashboard_primary" ["title"]=> string(25) "WordPress Events and News" ["callback"]=> string(24) "wp_dashboard_events_news" ["args"]=> array(1) { ["__widget_basename"]=> string(25) "WordPress Events and News" } } } } } }
But if I dump the widgets:
$wlcms_widgets = wlcms_esc_html_deep($this->get_settings('dashboard_widgets'));
var_dump($wlcms_widgets);
exit;
I get string(0) "" So that’s not being fetched to then process things.
If I dump:
var_dump(wlcms()->Settings()->getAll());
["dashboard_widgets"]=>
string(0) ""
["hide_all_dashboard_panels"]=>
string(1) "1"
I think that the issue is that this isn’t being populated when the settings are being saved, because they’re not there on the settings page to be set.
Digging a little further I looked in white-label-cms/view/admin/parts/dashboard-default-panels.php
and dumped out $widgets at line 45:
Hide All Dashboard Panels
This will hide all the WordPress default dashboard panels. Or you can specify which panels should appear.
array(1) { ["normal"]=> array(4) { ["high"]=> array(1) { ["dashboard_recent_comments"]=> bool(false) } ["core"]=> array(1) { ["dashboard_recent_comments"]=> bool(false) } ["default"]=> array(1) { ["dashboard_recent_comments"]=> bool(false) } ["low"]=> array(1) { ["dashboard_recent_comments"]=> bool(false) } } }
But again this falls back to the setting/options table when doing the comparison – $dashboard_widget = wlcms_field_setting('dashboard_widgets');
Hopefully some of this extra digging helps us narrow it down!
All the Best,
Alex
