    Hi,

    I want to remove WPNewsman widget from user console by changing of functions.php but I can not find the name of this widget. I tried “newsman” name but it not work. Please answer what name I must to write without WPNEWSMAN_NAME in unset operator.

    if (!current_user_can('administrator')):
function clear_dash(){
	$side = &$GLOBALS['wp_meta_boxes']['dashboard']['side']['core'];
	$normal = &$GLOBALS['wp_meta_boxes']['dashboard']['normal']['core'];
	unset($normal['dashboard_WPNEWSMAN_NAME']);
}
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'clear_dash' );
endif;

    Regards,
    Arnold

  • Hi Arnold,

    the id of the widget is “dashboard_glnt” so your unset command will be
    unset($normal[‘dashboard_glnt’]);

    I would recommend you to add high priority value for your add_action call to make sure your code is executed last. Like so:
    add_action(‘wp_dashboard_setup’, ‘clear_dash’, 100 );

    I hope this helps.

    In the next release the widget won’t be shown for the non-administrator users. Thanks for pointing out the problem.

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for quick answer but after when function was added next error was appeared:
    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare clear_dash()…

    It not a problem if you will make corrections in next release as you said.

    Regards,
    Arnold
