Hi,

I need to hide the Add Media button for specific custom post types.

I found this code on github, which works for a single custom post type:

function check_post_type_and_remove_media_buttons() {
 global $current_screen;
 if ( 'CPT slug goes here' == $current_screen->post_type ) remove_action('media_buttons', 'media_buttons'); 
 }
 add_action('admin_head','check_post_type_and_remove_media_buttons');

Simple question (I hope) - how to modify this code to check against multiple custom post types (by their specific slug names)?

thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - you can use in_array function to check against multiple post types.

For example:

function check_post_type_and_remove_media_buttons() {
 global $current_screen;

// Replace following array items with your post type slug
 $post_types = array('post-type-slug-1','post-type-slug-2','post-type-slug-3');

 if (in_array($current_screen->post_type,$post_types)) {
            remove_action('media_buttons', 'media_buttons'); 
 }
 }
 add_action('admin_head','check_post_type_and_remove_media_buttons');

I knew that an array would be the answer, but just wasn't sure how to make it happen.
Fantastic - thank you 🙂
