This snippet removes all admin notices and dashboard notifications for users with the Editor role in the WordPress admin panel. It helps create a cleaner and distraction-free admin experience by hiding plugin, theme, and core notices from editor-level users.
/**
* Hide all WordPress admin notices for editor users.
*
* Removes plugin, theme, and core admin notices from the dashboard
* for users who have the Editor capability to provide a cleaner
* admin experience.
*
*/
function sj_hide_admin_notices_for_editors() {
// Check if the current logged-in user has editor access.
if ( current_user_can( 'editor' ) ) {
// Remove all admin notice actions.
remove_all_actions( 'admin_notices' );
remove_all_actions( 'all_admin_notices' );
}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'sj_hide_admin_notices_for_editors' );Here's a lightweight WordPress code snippet that lets you hide any Gutenberg block based on whether the visitor is logged in or not.
Simply add one of these CSS classes to a block:
-
hide-for-guests→ Visible only to logged-in users. -
hide-for-members→ Visible only to logged-out visitors.
No plugin required.
Step 1: Add to functions.php
Step 2: Use It in Gutenberg
-
Select any block.
-
Open Advanced → Additional CSS class(es).
-
Add one of these classes:
|
Class |
Visibility |
|---|---|
|
|
Logged-in users only |
|
|
Logged-out visitors only |
Example
A Download Button with the class hide-for-guests will only appear for members who are logged in.
A Sign Up call-to-action with hide-for-members will only appear to visitors who haven't logged in yet.
Why this approach?
-
No extra plugin.
-
Works with any Gutenberg block.
-
Uses WordPress's
render_blockfilter. -
Keeps hidden content out of the rendered HTML, making it more secure than hiding it with CSS alone.
/**
* Hide Gutenberg blocks based on user login status.
*
* Classes:
* - hide-for-guests = Only logged-in users can see it.
* - hide-for-members = Only logged-out visitors can see it.
