The issue here is that the user wanted to remove the default content editor in wordpress.

You can actually remove this by going to your Custom Post Type settings in our Types plugin and unchecking the Editor checkbox.

Hi there,

Since I'm using only custom fields in my layout, the content editor is getting in the way.

Here's the code I'm using:

add_action('init', 'my_remove_editor_from_post_type');
function my_remove_editor_from_post_type() {
remove_post_type_support( 'page', 'editor' );
}

I pasted this into the functions.php of my child theme.

It works with post type "page," but not for any of my custom post types ("testimonial," "knitting-video") etc.

Can you tell me how to remove the editor from my custom post types? I'd like to know how to remove it from several different post types.

Thank you,
Liat Gat
