![Column with approval icons for entries 9206, 9205, 9204 in a list view](https://www.gravitykit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/file-OVXMGnBQm1.png)
*If you only want to display the Approve/Reject Entry column when there are Views connected to the form, you can use the following code*[in your functions.php file](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/gravityview/customizing-your-views/where-to-put-code-samples/):

```

add_filter('gravityview/approve_entries/hide-if-no-connections', '__return_true');
```

```

add_filter('gravityview/approve_entries/hide-if-no-connections', '__return_true');
```

If you would like only to hide the column for a specific form, you can do that using a different filter, `gravityview/approve_entries/show-column`. Here's an example:

```

add_filter('gravityview/approve_entries/show-column','gravityview_show_approved_entries_column', 10, 2 );

function gravityview_show_approved_entries_column( $show_approve_column, $form_id ) {
  
  // In this example, we want to HIDE the column for Gravity Forms form ID 2
  if( $form_id === 2 ) {
    return false;
  }
  
  // For other forms, return the default.
  return $show_approve_column;
}
```

```

add_filter('gravityview/approve_entries/show-column','gravityview_show_approved_entries_column', 10, 2 );

function gravityview_show_approved_entries_column( $show_approve_column, $form_id ) {
  
  // In this example, we want to HIDE the column for Gravity Forms form ID 2
  if( $form_id === 2 ) {
    return false;
  }
  
  // For other forms, return the default.
  return $show_approve_column;
}
```

And if you would like to hide all the time, you can use this code:

```

// Hide the Entry Approval column in the Gravity Forms entries table
add_filter( 'gravityview/approve_entries/show-column', '__return_false' );
```

```

// Hide the Entry Approval column in the Gravity Forms entries table
add_filter( 'gravityview/approve_entries/show-column', '__return_false' );
```
