Hi, I am using Moodle 3.7.1 and the theme Adaptable. I am trying to hide the buttons in the dashboard block 'course overview' encircled in this screenshot:


If there isn't a setting to do this then I would be happy to edit the PHP out, but being fairly new to Moodle I don't know where to find it. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Joshua,

There's no setting for removing options from the course overview block, however why not just use a different block such as the Recently accessed courses block?

In the CustomCSS setting (or RawSCSS on other themes) add

div.d-flex[aria-label="Course overview controls"] {display:none !important;}
