remove posting ability

  • is there a way, plugin or hack, that i can remove the posting area in the admin interface?

    i want to setup wordpress as a page-based (no posts) cms for someone and would like to only have the features they need.

  • If you’re ok with editing core files (I’m not sure if there’s a way to do this without editing the core – if there is, I’d love to hear about it!), just open up wp-admin/menu.php, and look for this code block:

    $menu[5] = array( __('Posts'), 'edit_posts', 'edit.php', '', 'wp-menu-open menu-top', 'menu-posts', 'div' );
	$submenu['edit.php'][5]  = array( __('Edit'), 'edit_posts', 'edit.php' );
	$submenu['edit.php'][10]  = array( _c('Add New|post'), 'edit_posts', 'post-new.php' );
	$submenu['edit.php'][15] = array( __('Tags'), 'manage_categories', 'edit-tags.php' );
	$submenu['edit.php'][20] = array( __('Categories'), 'manage_categories', 'categories.php' );

    Comment that whole block out, so it looks like this:

    /*
$menu[5] = array( __('Posts'), 'edit_posts', 'edit.php', '', 'wp-menu-open menu-top', 'menu-posts', 'div' );
	$submenu['edit.php'][5]  = array( __('Edit'), 'edit_posts', 'edit.php' );
	$submenu['edit.php'][10]  = array( _c('Add New|post'), 'edit_posts', 'post-new.php' );
	$submenu['edit.php'][15] = array( __('Tags'), 'manage_categories', 'edit-tags.php' );
	$submenu['edit.php'][20] = array( __('Categories'), 'manage_categories', 'categories.php' );
*/

    and the entire posts menu will dissapear.

    Beat me to it ??
