Seeing it’s now the ‘At A Glance’ widget, I just found doing a simple CSS addition the WP-Admin Styles targetting:
wp-version-message { display: none; }
Works well.
Hi, how can I also remove the “x widgets” parts too?
I’ve tried to add it to my functions.php theme but it’s not working, it’s still displaying theme infos.
Hi Omar, do you get any sort of error or does this just not work ?
Thanks for this tip. Now, I can hide unwanted theme info. from dashboard.
