Remove admin column for user roles

  • I want to remove / not display the sortable Post Views column in admin area, for other users except administrator.

    I tried this without results

    add_filter( 'manage_posts_columns', 'custom_pages_columns' );
function custom_pages_columns( $columns ) {
  unset(
    $columns['post_views']
  );
 
  return $columns;
}

    Post views columns are applied on per post type basis so you have to remove it the same way:

    add_action( 'admin_init', 'remove_custom_pages_columns' );

// detect post types
function remove_custom_pages_columns() {
	// check for administrator
	if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
		$post_types = get_post_types( '', 'names' );

		if ( ! empty( $post_types ) ) {
			foreach ( $post_types as $post_type ) {
				// apply filter
				add_filter( "manage_{$post_type}_posts_columns", 'custom_pages_columns' );
			}
		}
	}
}

// remove columns
function custom_pages_columns( $columns ) {
	if ( isset( $columns['post_views'] ) )
		unset( $columns['post_views'] );

	return $columns;
}
