To hide the screen options dropdown menu in the top right corner of the WordPress admin dashboard, you can add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a custom plugin:
/**
* How to Hide the Screen Options Dropdown Menu in the top right corner of the WordPress admin dashboard
* @link https://kipmyk.co.ke/code/how-to-hide-the-screen-options-dropdown-menu-in-the-top-right-corner-of-the-wordpress-admin-dashboard/
*/
add_action('admin_init', 'mk_hide_screen_options');
function mk_hide_screen_options() {
// Remove the screen options dropdown menu
add_filter('screen_options_show_screen', '__return_false');
}This code snippet adds an action hook to the admin_init action, which runs when the admin dashboard is initialized by setting the screen_options_show_screen filter hook to false.
