How can I remove the rich text box editor in WordPress? I have used the remove_meta_box function specifying the boxes ID, but it 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.
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' ),
