Hide "Delete Note" link in Order Notes Panel

Question

How do you hide the "Delete Note" link in the Order Notes panel? Is there a hook that can be used?

Answer 1

You can try adding this in your functions.php file:

add_action('admin_head', 'hide_delete_note_from_edit_order');
function hide_delete_note_from_edit_order()
{
    $screen = get_current_screen();
    if ($screen->post_type === "shop_order" && $screen->base === "post") {
        echo '<style>a.delete_note { display:none; }</style>';
    }
}

Answer 2

The answer given by Dharmishtha Patel is a good method to use. Another method requiring less processing is the "Additional CSS" functionality.

Within your Dashboard select "Appearance | Customize | Additional CSS" to display an edit box.

If the style you want to change is a.delete_note type the following;

.a.delete_note { display: none; }

or perhaps

a.delete_note { display: none }

This method can be used for hiding many elements and overrides existing css styles.
