I'm trying to hide details from the backend user (not admin) WordPress dashboard like Recently Published From our Blog WordPress Events and News Admin Colour Scheme Help Activity Screen Options

I haven't been able to locate the html (php/javascript?) for any of it but located some html for the colour scheme picker as follows:

<h2>Personal Options</h2>
<table class="form-table">
<tr class="user-admin-color-wrap">
<th scope="row">Admin Color Scheme</th>
<td>
<fieldset id="color-picker" class="scheme-list">
<legend class="screen-reader-text"><span>Admin Color Scheme</span>. 
</legend>
<input type="hidden" id="color-nonce" name="color-nonce" 
value="98ec68455d" /><div class="color-option selected">
<input name="admin_color" id="admin_color_fresh" type="radio" 
value="fresh" class="tog"  checked='checked' />
<input type="hidden" class="css_url" value="" />
<input type="hidden" class="icon_colors" value="{&quot;icons&quot;:  
{&quot;base&quot;:&quot;#a0a5aa&quot;, 
&quot;focus&quot;:&quot;#00a0d2&quot;,&quot;
current&quot;:&quot;#fff&quot;}}" />
<label for="admin_color_fresh">Default</label>
<table class="color-palette">
<tr>
<td style="background-color: #222">&nbsp;</td>
<td style="background-color: #333">&nbsp;</td>
<td style="background-color: #0073aa">&nbsp;</td>
<td style="background-color: #00a0d2">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="color-option ">
<input name="admin_color" id="admin_color_light" type="radio" 
value="light" class="tog"  />
<input type="hidden" class="css_url" value="https://adsler.co.uk/wp- 
admin/css/colors/light/colors.min.css" />
<input type="hidden" class="icon_colors" value="{&quot;icons&quot;:  
{&quot;base&quot;:&quot;#999&quot;,&quot;focus&quot;
:&quot;#ccc&quot;,&quot;current&quot;:&quot;#ccc&quot;}}" />
<label for="admin_color_light">Light</label>
<table class="color-palette">
<tr>
<td style="background-color: #e5e5e5">&nbsp;</td>

Tried css:

 #tab-panel-overview {visibility: hidden;} 

.help-tab-content active {visibility: hidden;} 

.form-table {visibility:hidden; display:none;} 


.user-admin-color-wrap {visibility: hidden; display: none;}

Also tried:

.scheme-list {visibility:hidden;}

Nothing.enter image description hereenter image description here

You mean the admin dashboard widgets? You can hide them with following wordpress action.

function remove_dashboard_widgets() {
    global $wp_meta_boxes;

    unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_quick_press']);
    unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_incoming_links']);
    unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_right_now']);
    unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_plugins']);
    unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_recent_drafts']);
    unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_recent_comments']);
    unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_primary']);
    unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_secondary']);

}

add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_dashboard_widgets' );

Please add this through a plugin or add the code to your functions.php. This is tested and will work.See screenshot attached

function stackinnerflow_remove_dashboard_widgets() {
    global $wp_meta_boxes;

    // Remove At a glance
    unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_right_now']);
    // Remove Activity
    unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_activity']);
    // Remove News and Events
    unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_primary']);
}

add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'stackinnerflow_remove_dashboard_widgets' );

// removes the `profile.php` admin color scheme options
remove_action( 'admin_color_scheme_picker', 'admin_color_scheme_picker' );

// Remove thanks WP
add_action('admin_head', 'stackinnerflow_footer_remove');

function stackinnerflow_footer_remove() {
  echo '<style>
              #footer-thankyou,
              #footer-upgrade {
                  display:none;
              } 
        </style>';
}

// remove the Help Tab use

add_action('admin_head', 'stackinnerflow_remove_help_tabs');
function stackinnerflow_remove_help_tabs() {
    $screen = get_current_screen();
    $screen->remove_help_tabs();
}

//remove the Screen Options Tab
add_filter('screen_options_show_screen', '__return_false');

If your wrap all the code for users below the level of administrator capabilities any user as editor or lower will not see this apart from the administrators.

if (current_user_can('editor')) {}

If you want to loop over a number of other capabilities, check this question: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/131814/if-the-current-user-is-an-administrator-or-editor
