MetaBox.io on WordPress Dashboard's WordPress Events and News

Hi,

You can use this code to remove the WordPress Events and News widget

add_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', function() {
    remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_primary', 'dashboard', 'side' );
} );

and this code to remove Meta Box menu from dashboard menus

add_action( 'admin_init', 'remove_menu_metabox' );

function remove_menu_metabox() {
    if ( !current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) { //change role or capability here
        remove_menu_page( 'meta-box' );
    }
}

Hi,

Currently, there is no filter to remove the news of Meta Box. You can use the admin CSS code to hide them.

#dashboard_primary li.meta-box-news-item {
    display: none;
}

I will inform the development team to support removing Meta Box news in future updates.

Hi,

The development team has added a new filter to remove the Meta Box news on this commit. It will be included in the next update.

How to use: add this code to the file functions.php or use the plugin Code Snippets

add_filter( 'rwmb_dismiss_dashboard_widget', function() {
    if ( !current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
} );
