How to remove the RichText Meta Box

Question

How can I remove the Rich Text box editor in wordpres. I have used remove_meta_box function and specifying the boxes ID but i does not work like it does for other core meta boxes:

The code i tried:

function remove_rich_box()
{
    remove_meta_box('postdivrich', 'client', 'normal');  
}
add_action( 'do_meta_boxes', 'remove_rich_box' );

Where the second paratmeter "client" is my custom post type

Answer 1

Unfortunately, it's not possible to remove it like a metabox, since it isn't one.

However, there's a very easy way to get rid of it for a custom post type. If you don't define anything for the 'supports' argument in the registration function, your post type will default to

'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor' ),

To stop that, add this to your registration arguments array:

'supports' => array( 'title' ),
