Remove “Library” button by Extendify

    Your plugin is putting a button at the top called “Library”. When I look at the source, it references Extendify. There are no settings in the plugin to disable that button. How can we remove this from our websites? We do not need or want that. We are using the SLIDER only.

    And how does this work with the source code? Should we be concerned with your inclusion of this in your plugin – https://wptavern.com/extendify-patches-vulnerabilities-in-the-redux-framework-plugin. Does it require an update?

  • Hi @mymothersdaughter – thanks for reaching out.

    The library gives access to Gutenberg patterns that incorporate the MetaSlider block. However, we totally understand that this is not something that will be useful for all users. You have two options to remove the library.

    1) Disable Extendify Button

    * Open the block editor by going to any page or post.
    * Click the three dots at the top right of the page to open the preferences menu
    * Click the button that says ‘Disable Extendify’ under Plugins

    This will remove the library button from the editor for any user that chooses to disable Extendify. It can be enabled again by clicking the ‘Enable Extendify’ button.

    2) Installing an mu-plugin

    If you wish to remove the Extendify library from an entire site, you can add the following as an mu-plugin. Note, this must be added as an mu-plugin and not added to the theme’s functions.php file.

    add_filter('extendifysdk_load_library', '__return_false');

    You can see screenshots here: https://extendify.com/how-to-disable-the-extendify-library/

    And how does this work with the source code? Should we be concerned with your inclusion of this in your plugin

    The security issue was just with the Redux options framework, so no update to MetaSlider is required. Thanks for checking, though!

    Let us know if you need anything else.

    Best,
    Chris

    Thank you. There should be instructions in the plugin on how to do this. Possibly the button added in that settings page. Most noobies or non-technical people will not know this. And there is no mention of it whatsoever in the settings at all. And to be honest, I personally feel that it should be optional and not turned on by default. That would also cut down on the confusion.

    Thanks for the feedback @mymothersdaughter – it’s helpful to hear.

    We do have a link to this page (https://extendify.com/how-to-disable-the-extendify-library/) when you open the library for the first time. But from your experience, it sounds like it might not be clear enough.

    Unfortunately, adding this to the functions file did not work in the child theme functions. Would you happen to know why?

    //* Disable Extendify Library Button from the Meta Slider plugin
add_filter('extendifysdk_load_library', '__return_false');

    I had to use the three dots and click Disable.

    Okay so must use the MU PLUGIN method. I’ll go try that. Thank you. You can close this.
