Is it possible to completely disable Bulk Edit functionality?

I'm using Wordpress 3.1.

can you explain what you mean by Bulk Edit Functionaity – xLRDxREVENGEx May 25 '11 at 6:45
in wp-admin go to the edit.php page (the page that lists all the posts) and then select edit in the bulk actions list/ It has options for categories, tags, etc which i don't need them to modify – EddyR May 25 '11 at 6:57

A more reliable approach than messing with CSS would be to add some Javascript in the admin_head action, and basically override the built-in "inlineEditPost" function (located in wp-admin/js/inline-edit-post.js and easier to read in inline-edit-post.dev.js). I haven't looked into it much specifically, but the brute force method would be to copy (and rename) that entire function and basically reverse the show/hide methods.

I've confirmed that disabling Javascript disables the Bulk Edit functionality entirely, so there wouldn't really be a workaround to your override.

I don't believe this is possible at this time. It's part of the Wordpress core and don't think there's a hook function to turn it off.

I figured that might be true. I could disable it with some css I suppose, but that's not a fool proof solution. – EddyR May 25 '11 at 6:26
