Disable HTML (Text) Tab in Post Editor

Question

I am attempting to disable the Text tab in the post editor but not having any luck.

The first thing I want to do is set the Visual editor to be the default but this code does not work (it is being called from a MU plugin):

apply_filters( 'wp_default_editor', 'tinymce' );

Next, I want to be able to completely hide the 'Visual' and 'Text' tabs but I don't see and hooks I could use to accomplish this.I really don't want to resort to CSS/JS to do it.

Answer 1

I was hunting for a way to do this, and no-one seems to mention the wp_editor_settings filter. This worked for me:

function my_editor_settings($settings) {
$settings['quicktags'] = false;
return $settings;
}

add_filter('wp_editor_settings', 'my_editor_settings');

Answer 2

I was able to resolve both defaulting to the Visual editor and hiding the tabs with the following code.

Dumped the following in plugin file:

add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', array($this, 'default_editor') );

Hide the tabs with this javascript:

$('.wp-editor-tabs').remove();

Or hide it with CSS:

.wp-editor-tabs{display:none;}
