Remove Widget in WP Dashboard

Hi Jonas

Thanks for reaching out and bringing all these good questions up here.

Yes, you can disable the Advanced Ads Widget in the WordPress Dashboard. Simply navigate to the upper-right corner and select the “Screen Options” dropdown menu. There, you can deactivate the displaying widgets on your dashboard.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards,
Henning

Can you please provide me with the code for functions.php so that it is completely disabled?

many thanks

Jonas

Hi Jonas
Please try this snippet in your functions.php to remove Advanced Ads widget from your WordPress dashboard:

function remove_AA_widget() {
remove_meta_box('advads_dashboard_widget', 'dashboard', 'normal');
remove_meta_box('advads_dashboard_widget', 'dashboard', 'side');
remove_meta_box('advads_dashboard_widget', 'dashboard', 'advanced');
}
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_AA_widget');

Please note that these code snippets are tested but provided without any general warranty or guarantee to work.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards,
Henning

Hi Jonas

did this solution works for you as well?

Hey yes that fits many thanks, i was a bit surprised that you didn’t take responsibility for your own code ??

Thanks for the feedback!
Oh, I take responsibility, but this is more like a “works for me” approach and a general “please test this carefully before using it in production” notice because I am sometimes not sure if I got all the semicolons right. ??
