Is it possible to remove WYSIWYG for a certain Custom Post Type?

Question

I dont want to use the WYSIWYG at the top of my Custom Post Type. I want to use a custom field textarea that i can place at bottom of my list of custom fields instead.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

add_action('init', 'init_remove_support',100);
function init_remove_support(){
    $post_type = 'your post type';
    remove_post_type_support( $post_type, 'editor');
}

place it to your themes functions.php

Alternatively, you can handle post-editor support directly in your register_post_type() call, via the 'supports' parameter in the $args array.

The default value is: 'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor' ).

You can change it to whatever you need; for example: 'supports' => array( 'title' ).

I am using Custom Types UI in combo with AdvancedCustomFields.

The Custom Post Types UI Plugin exposes all of the register_post_type() $args array parameters in its UI.

In this case, you simply need to find the Supports section, and disable/uncheck Editor:
