Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.When the view format is set to "unformatted list", there doesn't appear to be any way to hide the "Select all items on this page" checkbox.
Unfortunately, there's no CSS work around as the view generates the markup as below which prevents one from easily hiding the div containing this checkbox:
<div class="vbo-select-all-markup" style="display: block; ">
(No, this issue is _NOT_ a duplicate of #1180432: No option to hide "Select All Items" Checkboxes, as that one is about the "Select all items on all pages" checkbox, but this issue is about the "Select all items on this page" checkbox.)

Comment #1
BoobaaThe culprit is
theme_views_bulk_operations_select_all()which builds the form with this checkbox and renders it immediately, without the possibility to properly form_alter or pre_render it.Comment #2
BoobaaHere's a patch introduces a checkbox on the Views UI for this, enabled by default.
Comment #3
BoobaaDoh, needs review.

Many thanks!

Garrett Albright CreditAttribution: Garrett Albright commented#2 works for me too. Let's get it in the module, please - that stupid check box was driving me nuts.

skaduThis worked great, thanks guys!

bojanz CreditAttribution: bojanz commentedWhy not add a display:none to fieldset.vbo-fieldset-select-all? That's the element right below .vbo-select-all-markup.
There's also the option of overriding the theme function (theme_views_bulk_operations_select_all, but I don't yet see why a CSS fix isn't possible.
Removing the "Select all items on this page" checkbox feels very edge case-y, not sure it
is worth yet another checkbox in the settings, and the now very ugly logic in theme_views_bulk_operations_select_all().

Paul B CreditAttribution: Paul B commentedI like the ability to control both the checkboxes in one place. I don't think adding a display:none is a good alternative.

lukedekker CreditAttribution: lukedekker commentedPatch from #12 is not working for me.
The checkbox appears, but when it is unchecked, the select all box is still there. (Both the select all check boxes are unchecked.)

cassio CreditAttribution: cassio as a volunteer commentedalso is this a regression over a past version of vbo?
Comment #16
cassio CreditAttribution: cassio as a volunteer commentedI am now wondering if I have to be on dev branch... so will look at that.
Comment #17
joelpittetAll patches should be against the dev branch.
This patch still applies, not sure if it's a that useful as a feature so I'll just leave this open until we get some +1's
