Unregister post type from child theme

1 Views

I’m trying to unregister a post type from a child theme but I haven’t been able to do so, the code in the funcions.php file on the parent theme is something like this: 

add_action( 'init', 'mc_projects' );
function mc_projects() {
    register_post_type( 'project', array(
        // Default options....
    ) );

}

What I tried to do in my child theme was to remove the mc_project action from the init hook like this:

remove_action('init', 'mc_projects', 11);

But it didn’t work, even when I set the priority to some higher value, am I doing something wrong?

  1. Try the following in your child theme functions file.

    add_action( 'init', 'remove_mc_projects' );
function remove_mc_projects() {
    remove_action('init', 'mc_projects');
}

  3. Here’s another solution, abeit a bit hackish –

    In my parent theme, my custom post type is created like so:

    if (!(function_exists('my_post_type')))
{
    function my_post_type()
    {
            ...
    }
}

    Then, in my child theme, I simply re-declare the function as empty – 

    function my_post_type() { }

    Hope this helps! This is my first contribution to a forum like this so please excuse any formatting rules I’ve broken.
