 * I want to remove the admin dashboard metabox for all user. I’ve tried the code
   you list on your website
 *     ```
       // Remove Yoast SEO Dashboard Widget
       function remove_wpseo_dashboard_overview() {
       remove_meta_box( 'wpseo-dashboard-overview', 'dashboard', 'side' );
       }
   
       add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_wpseo_dashboard_overview' );
       ```
   
 * I’ve also tried other code that should work as well but the metabox just won’t
   go away. Any suggestions?
