How can I remove the Static Front Page option from the Customizer

Question

In Wordpress 4.1's Theme Customizer there's a Static Front Page option. I've set up my theme to have a custom front page (via front-page.php in the theme) so I don't want this option to be available here.

How can I remove it?

Answer 1

This code will do the job.

add_action('customize_register', 'themename_customize_register');
function themename_customize_register($wp_customize) {
  $wp_customize->remove_section( 'static_front_page' );
}

It will remove Static Front Page option.
