Since the last update, there’s a new column in the admin dashboard for posts showing total view counts. Is it possible to hide this, for everyone, by default ? Example: https://i.stack.imgur.com/BLXVW.png

Hi,

You could manage the screen options with a plugin that has these capabilities. That way you could probably hide options, or customize what is displayed in the screen options.

Thanks

I’d rather not install plugins that do way more than they were supposed to, but use funcitons.php instead. If you could snippet me partially the code or the capability for this specific issue (views count only) I can do the rest :]

Thanks

Hi,

You can try a code like this in the theme’s functions file

It should remove the Views field from the screen options, and the views column

function my_columns_filter( $columns ) {
unset($columns['td_post_views']);
return $columns;
}
add_filter( 'manage_edit-post_columns', 'my_columns_filter',10, 1 );

Thanks
