Remove post from new menu in top bar

2 Views

I have removed the post menu from the admin side bar like so: 

add_action('admin_menu','remove_default_post_type');

function remove_default_post_type() {
    remove_menu_page('edit.php');
}

How can I now remove it from the top bar ‘new’ menu as well?

  1. The users can still create new posts if the URL is known, like;
    domain.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

    Here is the code you can use for that … added it to the file functions.php

    function hide_add_new() {
global $submenu;
    // For Removing New Posts from Admin Menu
    unset($submenu['post-new.php?post_type=post'][10]);
    // For Removing New Pages
    unset($submenu['post-new.php?post_type=page'][10]);
   // For Removing CPTs
    unset($submenu['post-new.php?post_type=custom_post_type'][10]);
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'hide_add_new');

//Thanks to Howdy_McGee
function remove_admin_bar_links() {
    global $wp_admin_bar;
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('new-post');
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('new-page');
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('new-cpt');
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'remove_admin_bar_links' );


function disable_new_post() {
if ( get_current_screen()->post_type == 'my_post_type' )
    wp_die( "You ain't allowed to do that!" );
}
add_action( 'load-post-new.php', 'disable_new_post' );

  2. To remove submenus you can inspect the menu you will see every li will have an ID similar to wp-admin-bar-new-content to remove said menu item, just remove wp-admin-bar-. With that we can look at +New -> Post item which has an ID of wp-admin-bar-new-post so we can remove it like so:

    function remove_admin_bar_links() {
        global $wp_admin_bar;
        $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('new-post');
    }
    add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'remove_admin_bar_links' );

  3. Try with the following code :

    add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'wpse126922_remove_newpost', 999 );

function wpse126922_remove_newpost ( $wp_admin_bar ) {
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'new-post' );
}

    this code worked for me:

    function remove_admin_bar_links() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('new-content');
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('new-post');
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('new-page');
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('comments');
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'remove_admin_bar_links' );
function disable_new_post() {
if ( get_current_screen()->post_type == 'post' )
    wp_die( "You ain't allowed to do that!" );
}
add_action( 'load-post-new.php', 'disable_new_post' );function disable_new_post() {
if ( get_current_screen()->post_type == 'my_post_type' )
    wp_die( "You ain't allowed to do that!" );
}
add_action( 'load-post-new.php', 'disable_new_post' );
