wordpress remove post status count from cms

1. By tracing the code, I’ve worked up the only solution that I can see.

   The filter bulk_post_updated_messages is ONLY called on the edit.php screen.

   The counts are not calculated (in class-wp-posts-list-table.php, get_views method) if the global variable $locked_post_status is not empty.

   By gluing these two pieces of information together, I’ve got a solution that you can use by dropping it into your theme’s functions.php file:

   // Hook this filter, only called on the `edit.php` screen.
   // It's not the "correct" filter, but it's the only one we can leverage
   // so we're hijacking it a bit.
   add_filter('bulk_post_updated_messages', 'suppress_counts', 10, 2);
   
   // We need to let the function "pass through" the intended filter content, so accept the variable $bulk_messages
   function suppress_counts($bulk_messages) {
       // If the GET "post_type" is not set, then it's the "posts" type
       $post_type = (isset($_GET['post_type'])) ? $_GET['post_type'] : 'post';
   
       // List any post types you would like to KEEP counts for in this array
       $exclude_post_types = array('page');
       // Global in the variable so we can modify it
       global $locked_post_status;
   
       // If the post type is not in the "Exclude" list, then set the $locked variable
       if ( ! in_array($post_type, $exclude_post_types)) {
           $locked_post_status = TRUE;
       }
   
       // Don't forget to return this so the filtered content still displays!
       return $bulk_messages;
   }
   

2. i came up with this solution.

   //Disable Article Counter - query runs for about 1-2 seconds
           add_filter('admin_init', function () {
               foreach (get_post_types() as $type) {
                   $cache_key = _count_posts_cache_key($type, "readable");
                   $counts = array_fill_keys(get_post_stati(), 1);
                   wp_cache_set($cache_key, (object)$counts, 'counts');
               }
           }, -1);
           add_action('admin_head', function () {
                $css  = '<style>';
                $css .= '.subsubsub a .count { display: none; }';
                $css .= '</style>';
   
                echo $css;
           });
   

   the post counter uses the wp-cache, the idea behind this approach is, to prefill the cache with the “correct” object containing 1’s (0 would skip the status from being clickable) – at the earliest moment.

   it results in all stati being displayed – with 1’s and the query is not run et-all
   in addition it returns a css snippet to hide the (1)
