Customizing the WordPress Admin Comments Area

Adding a custom column to WordPress Comment Listing page in Dashboard was like…!Spent hours behind filter and hooks that werent docummented well anywhere.
Lets add the following hook to add a custom column named “New Custom Column” that will appear along after Author,Comments and In Response To .

function adding_comment_columns( $columns )
{
$columns['my_custom_column'] = __( ‘New Custom Column’ );
return $columns;
}
add_filter( ‘manage_edit-comments_columns’, ‘adding_comment_columns’ );

If you want to unset or say remove any one of the existing columns Author,Comments and In Response To  say Author then,

function myplugin_comment_columns( $columns )
{
unset($columns['author']);
return $columns;

}
add_filter( ‘manage_edit-comments_columns’, ‘myplugin_comment_columns’ );

That’s ALL.Would be rolling out more blogs on Hooks for WordPress blogs soon!
