How To Disable (or Remove) “All Posts, Published, and Trash” in Dashboard Posts

If you are looking for ways to completely remove the All, Published, and Trash in WordPress admin dashboard posts or custom post types. Then this article will provide you with complete steps to make it possible for you.

By default, WordPress displays all pages/posts in the admin area’s list, regardless of whether they are published or not. If you will refer to the below screenshot then you can see the count of All, Published, and trash.

Now, we want to remove the All and trash option from the above image place. Sometimes you will get more options in your dashboard like pending, draft.

The WP_Posts_List_Table class extends WP_List_Table and within the WP_List_Table::views() method we have the following dynamic views filter:

/**
 * Filter the list of available list table views.
 *
 * The dynamic portion of the hook name, $this->screen->id, refers
 * to the ID of the current screen, usually a string.
 *
 * @since 3.5.0
 *
 * @param array $views An array of available list table views.
 */
 $views = apply_filters( "views_{$this->screen->id}", $views )

So we can use the generated views_edit-post filter to adjust the views of the post list table. I found this code to from here
