Clean Dashboard- Remove Items

What do you want to remove?

I believe this still works: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-hide-dashboard/

I think this article is really helpful:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Dashboard_Widgets_API#Advanced:_Removing_Dashboard_Widgets

… basically, I just wrote a plugin like so:

# get rid of dashboard junk
function example_remove_dashboard_widgets() {
	// Globalize the metaboxes array, this holds all the widgets for wp-admin
	global $wp_meta_boxes;

        unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_incoming_links']);
        unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_plugins']);
        unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_quick_press']);
        unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_primary']);
        unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_secondary']);

} 

// Hook into the 'wp_dashboard_setup' action to register our function
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'example_remove_dashboard_widgets' );

… then dropped it into the “mu-plugins” folder, and this got rid of everything except “latest comments”, “Right now”, and “Recent Drafts”.

Does that do it for all users, though, or just non-admins?
