Removing Dashboard Widgets

gistfile1.php

<?php
function dwwp_remove_dashboard_widgets() {
	remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_primary', 'dashboard', 'post_container_1' );
}

add_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', 'dwwp_remove_dashboard_widgets' );

add_action( 'admin_init', 'dv_remove_dashboard_widget' ); works for me.

I like to type the code first before watching the videos. The comments indicate there will be some info to correct this during the video. I will update this comment after watching if I remember.

function dwwp_remove_dashboard_widget(){
// remove dashboard widget
remove_meta_box('dashboard_primary','dashboard','side');

}
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup','dwwp_remove_dashboard_widget');

This works for me.
