Remove WP-Optimize from Media Column

Resolved

(@christof15)

Hi, I would like to remove the WP-Optimize column from the Media page. I know I can do it through Screen Settings but I’d rather do it with:

add_filter('manage_media_columns','wpse_77687_remove_media_columns');
function wpse_77687_remove_media_columns($columns) {
    $roles = array('dailyadmin', 'editor');
    foreach($roles as $role) {
        if (current_user_can($role)) {
	  unset($columns['imsanity']); /* Column ID value */
          unset($columns['wpo_smush']);
	break;
        }
    }
    return $columns;
}

This unfortunately is not working. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any particular reason why you are unwilling to do it through the settings?

Yes, i want to control which users/groups can and can’t use it from the mediapage.

You are not quite using your user capabilities correctly here. You are mixing them up with WP roles.

User capabilities should be things link user can install_plugins, update_core or edit_posts.

Try something like the following
```
function wpse_77687_remove_media_columns($columns) 

{

    // For admin level roles,  add the smush functionality  

    if ( current_user_can(install_plugins) )

    {

        $columns[‘imnsanity’];
        $columns[‘wpo_smush’];

    }

    // for other roles, hide the smush functionality

    elseif ( current_user_can(edit_posts) )

    {

      unset($columns['imsanity']); /* Column ID value */

      unset($columns['wpo_smush']);

    return $columns;}

}
```
