    add_filter( 'manage_pages_columns', 'my_custom_pages_columns' );

function my_custom_pages_columns( $columns ) {

	/** Add a Thumbnail Column **/
	$myCustomColumns = array(
		'thumbnail' => __( 'Thumbnail', 'Aternus' )
	);
	$columns = array_merge( $columns, $myCustomColumns );

	/** Remove a Author, Comments Columns **/

		$columns['author'],
