Not Feeling Smart Today-

  • Hello- I’m sure this has be covered previously, but I can’t locate it the Forum archives, so…

    I simply want to delete the Javascript menus on the right side of the “Create New Post” page. (The expanding menus such as “Discussion,” “Password Protect Post,”, “Post Slug,” etc.)
    I imagine it’s just a question of deleting the div that contains these menus, but I am at a loss to find their location on any of the php pages of my site. Can someone point me in the right direction, PLEASE?
    (I am using latest version of WP/Kubrick theme.)
    Thanks so much!!!
    CG~

  • that’s (if i’m reading your ? correctly) all things which reside inside of the ‘admin’ section of WP, rather than in the ‘front end’, I think that what you’re trying to acomplish can only be done by editing core files within the wp-admin folder (which I wouldn’t recommend doing because future updates/upgrades won’t be possible without creating a mess).

    the only other approach I can think of off the top of my head would be to create a plugin (or maybe one already exists, you’re not feeling smart, but I’m feeling lazy, so I don’t feel like checking my notes or the wp-plugins.net site) which controls what’s displayed on the write post page based on a user’s ‘access level’, this way you’re not editing any core files, but can hide things you don’t want users to see, I’m assuming/guessing that you only want to hide those things from some authors/users, not someone like the site admin/yourself, etc). If i feel ‘unlazy’ later, I’ll check both my notes and the existing plugins, then post an update.

    …c

    (ps. what you’re looking to change shouldn’t be theme dependent since it’s in admin.css and wp-admin folders, rather than themes/default (eg ‘Kubrick’ as you mentioned).

    chradil- Thanks! If there is a plugin for this task I’d be most grateful if you could point it out for me. I’m not adverse to changing some of the core php files in the “admin” section, (I carefully make a back up of everything before I experiment), but in this case I can’t seem to locate the code that displays the content I’m trying to delete. Oh well…

    roger that, (i’ll need at least a couple of more cups of coffee first), i’ll get you the list of files you need to change along with a plugin or two which might help later this evening…c
