remove the ASP button in the editor

[mistermixmania]

Hello dear team,
I would like to remove the ASP button in the editor. Unfortunately I can’t find anything in the settings. I found a way to deactivate the metabox, but unfortunately no way to remove the ASP button.
How can I achieve this? I don’t want my subscribers to see the button.

Best regards,
Gösta

Hi Gösta,

I guess you are referring to the Classic editor (tinymce)?

There is no option, but I think it might be possible via some custom code. Try adding this code via the Code Snippets plugin or to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

remove_action('admin_head', 'wpdreams_asp_add_mce_button');
remove_action('admin_head', 'wpdreams_asp_mce_generate_variable');

Hello,
unfortunately still there. If I remove the following in the… it works. But I need a solution without interfering with the script.

wp-content/plugins/ajax-search-pro/includes/classes/Core/ Manager.php
// Special case
if ( wpdreams_on_backend_post_editor() ) {
require_once(ASP_PATH . “/backend/tinymce/buttons.php”);
require_once(ASP_PATH . “/backend/metaboxes/default.php”);
}

Best regards,
Gösta

The code above is the only way without changing the files. Hooks can be tricky, the order of execution is important.

Maybe using the hooks to the mce as well could work:

remove_action('admin_head', 'wpdreams_asp_add_mce_button');
remove_action('admin_head', 'wpdreams_asp_mce_generate_variable');
remove_filter( 'mce_external_plugins', 'wpdreams_asp_add_tinymce_plugin' );
remove_filter( 'mce_buttons', 'wpdreams_asp_register_mce_button' );

Hello,
unfortunately still there. See Appendix.

Where do you add the suggested custom code?

[mistermixmania]

In functions.php

Best regards,

That should work though, maybe putting it to the actual hook for a delay:

add_filter('admin_head', function(){
	remove_action('admin_head', 'wpdreams_asp_add_mce_button');
	remove_action('admin_head', 'wpdreams_asp_mce_generate_variable');
	remove_filter( 'mce_external_plugins', 'wpdreams_asp_add_tinymce_plugin' );
	remove_filter( 'mce_buttons', 'wpdreams_asp_register_mce_button' );
});

Hello,

since it doesn’t work with the removes… is it possible to program an option in the settings where the admin only wants to have a file placed above the button in the editor or not?

This could then be queried in the following query.

wp-content/plugins/ajax-search-pro/includes/classes/Core/ Manager.php
// Special case
if ( wpdreams_on_backend_post_editor() ) {
require_once(ASP_PATH . “/backend/tinymce/buttons.php”);
require_once(ASP_PATH . “/backend/metaboxes/default.php”);
}

Thanks
Gösta

That’s unfortunate.

Well, the problem with that solution is that the options may not be accessible at that point of execution yet, I will have to check.
Either way I have made a feature request on this, and I will make sure to deal with it before the upcoming release.

Thank you very much,
