    Hi everyone, I hope someone can help. I have trawled the forums and searched everywhere and even though I found a few examples, none have worked for me so far.

    How can I hide the Add New button that appears after you click on pages on the left hand menu and it shows a list of pages already created. Add New appears right next to “Pages”. I have a site for a client where they should not add any new pages. I have already changed the user capabilities so that they can’t publish pages but would really like the button to be gone. CSS or a PHP snippet would be great

    Any ideas?

    You can try with this css in admin css:

    .wrap .page-title-action{display:none;}

    Thanks for the tip, where is the admin css? I searched for Admin.css but no specific css file. I did try adding this to my Sparkling theme’s custom css but no luck yet….

    Hey,

    Try this flow to add css for admin:

    Thanks for your help pixellanguage, that seemed a bit complicated so I dug a bit deeper and found a solution. The reason the following snippet I found didn’t work is because my current wordpress version has a different class name of .page-title-action (as highlighted by you above – THANKS).

    So I took the following snippet which I found previously:

    //functions.php or add snippet to "Code Snippets" Plugin
      function hide_buttons()
    {
    global $current_screen;

    if($current_screen->id == 'page');
    {
    echo '<style>.add-new-h2{display: none;}</style>';
    }
   }
   add_action('admin_head','hide_buttons');

    and I replaced it with:

    //functions.php or add snippet to "Code Snippets" Plugin
  function hide_buttons()
  {
  global $current_screen;

  if($current_screen->id == 'page');
  {
  echo '<style>.page-title-action{display: none;}';
  }

  }
  add_action('admin_head','hide_buttons');

    So I basically just replaced .add-new-h2 in the first snippet I found with .page-title-action and I would not have even had a clue about this if it wasn’t for your reply, thanks so much.

    The solution above removes the Add New button from post and page listings in Admin area – hopefully someone else may find this useful also.
