Thanks for very handy plugin! I’m looking for a way to hide the dashboard widget from everyone but the site admin. I have tried the following code, without success:

add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'jr_mss_hide_widget_on_dashboard');

 function jr_mss_hide_widget_on_dashboard() {

     global $pagenow;

     if (!is_admin() || $pagenow !== 'index.php') {
         return;
     }

     if (!current_user_can('administrator')) {
         remove_meta_box('simple_space_widget', 'dashboard', 'side');
     }
 }

I have also tried the above code with the ‘admin_init’ hook, with the same (unsuccessful) result. Is it at all possible to hide the widget from specific user roles?

Thanks.

Edit: …aaand, it turns out, all I had to do was to add a priority argument, like this:

add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'jr_mss_hide_widget_on_dashboard', 999);

 function jr_mss_hide_widget_on_dashboard() {

     global $pagenow;

     if (!is_admin() || $pagenow !== 'index.php') {
         return;
     }

     if (!current_user_can('administrator')) {
         remove_meta_box('simple_space_widget', 'dashboard', 'side');
     }
 }

I really should explore things more carefully before I ask questions in the forum, hehe. Thanks again for a neat plugin!

I find it very confusing for users, when untagged posts show all kinds of popular tags in the sidebar.

Is there an option to hide the widget for untagged posts? I couldn’t find one.

Cheers

PS: Great looking plugin … happy I found it anyway.

Thanks

I’m creating a free membership level (PMPro) on my site which has limited access to site (no private BP messaging) and I would like to hide the Flyzoo widget so they can’t communicate with users online in chat. Is that something you could help with? Basically line of code I could put into functions.php to exclude that level from seeing the widget.

Thank you

.page-id-1394 .sidebar-after-main-content, .sidebar-before-main-content {
  display: none !important;
}

Thank you!

I have been using your plugin for sometimes, thanks very much, it is great !

I need the widget not to display on one specific page. of course I could hide it with css (display:none;), but I presume there must be some better and cleaner way to do this.
May you help ?

Thanks

I want one that just hides, I would then add an IF statement to hide it on a condition.

I have shortcodes in my widget to display custom fields, and sometimes the custom fields are empty, so I don’t want it to display if they are empty. The widget itself isn’t empty though because it has the shortcodes so the existing hook above doesn’t work for me.

Thanks

Anything like “is_amp” or something? This would be in conjunction with the free “AMP” plugin by Automattic.
