 * Hi,
 * I want to remove the following code from the Admin Panel using Hooks:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $blog_name = get_bloginfo('name', 'display');
       if ( '' == $blog_name ) {
       	$blog_name = '&nbsp;';
       } else {
       	$blog_name_excerpt = wp_html_excerpt($blog_name, 40);
       	if ( $blog_name != $blog_name_excerpt )
       		$blog_name_excerpt = trim($blog_name_excerpt) . '&hellip;';
       	$blog_name = $blog_name_excerpt;
       	unset($blog_name_excerpt);
       }
       $title_class = '';
       if ( function_exists('mb_strlen') ) {
       	if ( mb_strlen($blog_name, 'UTF-8') > 30 )
       		$title_class = 'class="long-title"';
       } else {
       	if ( strlen($blog_name) > 30 )
       		$title_class = 'class="long-title"';
       }
       ?>
   
       <img id="header-logo" src="<?php echo esc_url( includes_url( 'images/blank.gif' ) ); ?>" alt="" width="32" height="32" />
       <h1 id="site-heading" <?php echo $title_class ?>>
       	<a href="<?php echo trailingslashit( get_bloginfo( 'url' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e('Visit Site') ?>">
       		<span id="site-title"><?php echo $blog_name ?></span>
       	</a>
       <?php if ( current_user_can('manage_options') && '1' != get_option('blog_public') ): ?>
       	<a id="privacy-on-link" href="options-privacy.php" title="<?php echo esc_attr( apply_filters('privacy_on_link_title', __('Your site is asking search engines not to index its content') ) ); ?>"><?php echo apply_filters('privacy_on_link_text', __('Search Engines Blocked') ); ?></a>
       <?php endif; ?>
       </h1>
       ```
   
 * This is found in the the admin-header.php file in wp-admin. The outputted code
   is something like this:
 *     ```
       <img height="32" width="32" alt="" src="http://strategycms.com/wp-includes/images/blank.gif" id="header-logo">
       <h1 id="site-heading">
       	<a title="Visit Site" href="http://strategycms.com/">
       		<span id="site-title">Strategy CMS</span>
       	</a>
       </h1>
   
       <div id="wphead-info">
       <div id="user_info">
       <p>Howdy, <a title="Edit your profile" href="profile.php">Moshe</a> | <a title="Log Out" href="http://strategycms.com/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=32e0c01265">Log Out</a></p>
       </div>
   
       <div id="favorite-actions"><div id="favorite-first"><a href="post-new.php">New Post</a></div><div id="favorite-toggle"><br></div><div id="favorite-inside" style="width: 126px;"><div class="favorite-action"><a href="edit.php?post_status=draft">Drafts</a></div>
       <div class="favorite-action"><a href="post-new.php?post_type=page">New Page</a></div>
       <div class="favorite-action"><a href="media-new.php">Upload</a></div>
       <div class="favorite-action"><a href="edit-comments.php">Comments</a></div>
       </div></div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Is this possible? If so, how would I do it?
 * Thanks and be well,
 * Moshe

 * Looks like you want to add a custom logo you administration page? If so, please
   try this code in your theme’s functions.php or a custom plugin:
 *     ```
       //hook the administrative header output
           add_action('admin_head', 'my_custom_logo');
   
           function my_custom_logo() {
           echo '
           <style type="text/css">
           #header-logo { background-image: url('.get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/images/custom-logo.gif) !important; }
           </style>
           ';
           }
       ```
   
 * If you want to tweak the Favorites menu, code like the following is in order:
 *     ```
       add_filter('favorite_actions', 'custom_favorites');
       function custom_favorites($actions) {
               $actions['options.php'] = array('All Settings', 'unfiltered_html');
               return $actions;
       }
       ```

 * Very simple solution that I found a few weeks ago. I love it too! Can’t take 
   credit though 🙂

 * Thanks for your response.
 * I actually want to do something else – I want to rearrange the order of the code
   in the admin section. I want to do that, though, without actually editing the
   core files. I have managed to add in new code where I want to via hooks, but 
   I can’t see a way to remove the above code via hooks. In essence, I want to be
   able to relocate and/or delete the code I mentioned above.
 * I am somewhat new to using functions and hooks so I don’t know if what I want
   to do is possible.
 * Thanks and be well,
 * Moshe

   help.

 * Hello,
 * Basically, I just want to know how to remove the above code without touching 
   the core files. Is that possible? If so, how.
 * Thanks for your help.
 * All the best,

 * I don’t really know what to tell you, there are no readily available hooks that
   I can find. There _may_ be some kind of secret trick that I do not know about.
   Have you considered using css or javascript to hide the elements?

 * Hell Michael,
 * Thanks for taking the time to help me with this. You have given me the answer
   that I needed. It seems that this is not possible vis-a-vis hooks – that’s what
   I wanted to know.
 * I have, therefore, hidden the elements via CSS.
 * Thanks again,
 * Moshe
