How to hide/deregister Custom Post Types

[alemarengo]

Hi guys!
I’ve found this topic on Neighborhood in which it is suggested to use the following snippet:

/*------------------------------------------*/
/* 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');

Since I need to get rid of Jobs, Portfolio, Galleries, Team & Testimonials, I think it will be enough for me to add them to $remove_menu_items, right?
Should I use __('xxx') syntax?

Can you please confirm that to me?

Hi,
Please add item to $remove_menu_items and you dont need to use this syntax __(‘xxx’).
Thanks
Mohammad

Hi Mohammad,
I added this to functions.php:

function remove_admin_menu_items() {
    $remove_menu_items = array('jobs','portfolio','galleries','team','testimonials', 'faqs');
    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');

Nothing happened. 🙁

Hi,
Please use __(‘xxx’) syntax.

Hi guys,
after adding your snippet to my website, plesk reported me an error like this:

[warn] [client 151.51.175.112] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/vhosts/xxx/httpdocs/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php on line 1419

which refers to this function:

function remove_menu_page( $menu_slug ) {
	global $menu;

	foreach ( $menu as $i => $item ) {
		if ( $menu_slug == $item[2] ) {
			unset( $menu[$i] );
			return $item;
		}
	}

	return false;
}

How could I fix this?

Sorry, my fault! Plesk error refers to another snippet involving Jetpack… 🙁

Hi,

Didn’t understand, the code you posted is from our theme or Jetpack?
If it’s Jetpack we can’t assist.

Sorry guys! I wanted to delete all the text, including the snippet, because it wasn’t it causing that error, but another snippet. 🙂

Deregister with the above snippet is super fine and working like a charm!

Ok. Glad it’s sorted.
