remove activity feed from Wordpress admin

I am looking for a way to hide activity feed from the dashboard using a function. Does anyone know how to do this? I want to completely remove it. I want to achieve this without a plugin.

Solution

  • You'll either have to create a plugin or add a function to your theme functions.php file.

    function remove_activity_dashboard_widget() {
    remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_activity', 'dashboard', 'side' );
} 

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

    Here is the codex page on the subject:
