How can I de-register Custom Post Types (CPT) I don't need?

[greendiablo]

I’d like to de-register some of the custom post type I don’t need in the child theme (e.g. Jobs, Clients). Or at least hide them from the WordPress backend links, so my client doesn’t get confused by too many options.

Please help!

You can find this code in functions.php

	/* Add custom post types */
	require_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/custom-post-types/portfolio-type.php');
	require_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/custom-post-types/team-type.php');
	require_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/custom-post-types/clients-type.php');
	require_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/custom-post-types/testimonials-type.php');
	require_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/custom-post-types/jobs-type.php');
	require_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/custom-post-types/faqs-type.php');

Remove according to your liking

Cheers

I’d prefer not to edit the parent theme files.
I found this code to simply hide the unwanted menus in the admin sidebar:

/*------------------------------------------*/
/* Remove Unwanted Admin Menu Items */
/*------------------------------------------*/

function remove_admin_menu_items() {
	$remove_menu_items = array(__('Jobs'),__('Portfolio'));
	global $menu;
	end ($menu);
	while (prev($menu)){
		$item = explode(' ',$menu[key($menu)][0]);
		if(in_array($item[0] != NULL?$item[0]:"" , $remove_menu_items)){
		unset($menu[key($menu)]);}
	}
}

add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_admin_menu_items');
