Remove specific buttons from wp_editor()

1 Views

I know there are similar topics with accepted answers but I can’t find what I’m looking for. I want to keep only basic buttons in wp_editor(). I’m using this in an option page to make writing more comfortable.

The problem is the theme adds a huge amount of quicktags I do not want on this specific page. How can I achieve this.

So far I’ve looked into wp-includes/wp-class-editor.php but the following line does not remove unecessary buttons : 

'quicktags' => array('buttons' => 'link,ins,img,close')

:/ Any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT: I’ve tried to modify function given in similar topic with this : 

function wpa_47010( $qtInit ) {
global $my_plugin_page;
    $screen = get_current_screen();
      if( $screen->id == $my_plugin_page ) 
          $qtInit['buttons'] = 'link,img,close';
return $qtInit;
}
add_filter('quicktags_settings', 'wpa_47010');

But it does not work !

  1. If you are using the settings API, you can use exactly the same code for calling wp_editor as you would anywhere else

    I’ve test the code below, it adds a setting section to the reading section, and then adds a field to the section containing a WYSIWYG editor with buttons limited to link, img and close

    // Add a setting to the reading page
 function register_plugin_x_settings() {
    // Add a section to reading settings 
    add_settings_section('plugin_x_setting_section','Plugin X (section caption)','plugin_x_setting_section_callback','reading');

        // add setting field
    add_settings_field('plugin_x_setting_wysiwyg', 'WYSIWYG Content', 'plugin_x_setting_wysiwyg_callback', 'reading', 'plugin_x_setting_section');
    register_setting('reading','plugin_x_setting_wysiwyg');
 }
 add_action('admin_init', 'register_plugin_x_settings');

 // function to render the section
 function plugin_x_setting_section_callback() {
    echo '<p>Plugin X Settings</p>';
 }

// function to render the setting
function plugin_x_setting_wysiwyg_callback() {
    // global editor id (not necesary, but we may need it elsewhere)
    global $myPluginEditorID;
    $myPluginEditorID = "myPluginEditorUniqueID";

    // settings to pass to wp_editor, disables the upload button, and sets minimal quicktags and turns off tinymce
    $settings = array(
        'media_buttons' => false,
        'quicktags'     => array("buttons"=>"link,img,close"),
        'textarea_name' => "input_{$myPluginEditorID}",
        'tinymce'       => false,
    );

    // output the wysiwyg editor
    wp_editor( "Content Here", $myPluginEditorID,$settings);
 }

  2. The following code works for me, it adds an options page, and adds a WYSIWYG box to that page, with ONLY 3 quicktags: link, img and close, and nothing else.

    Note, I turned of tinyMCE, and passed a settings array (which contains another array for quicktag settings) to wp_editor.

    By passing in unique id of the textarea field, it will only affect the correct box on your plugin options page

    // add admin page
function my_admin_add_page() {
    global $my_admin_page;
    $my_admin_page = add_options_page(__('My Admin Page', 'map'), __('My Admin Page', 'map'), 'manage_options', 'map', 'my_admin_page');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'my_admin_add_page');

// render admin page
function my_admin_page() {
    // global editor id (not necesary, but we may need it elsewhere)
    global $myPluginEditorID;
    $myPluginEditorID = "myPluginEditorUniqueID";

    // settings to pass to wp_editor, disables the upload button, and sets minimal quicktags and turns off tinymce
    $settings = array(
        'media_buttons' => false,
        'quicktags'     => array("buttons"=>"link,img,close"),
        'textarea_name' => "input_{$myPluginEditorID}",
        'tinymce'       => false,
    );

    // output the wysiwyg editor
    wp_editor( "Content Here", $myPluginEditorID,$settings);
}
