remove_action not working for functions within a plugin

1 Views

I’m trying to use remove_action to prevent a part of a plugin from running – don’t ask me why :-).

The function within the plugin is:

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', array( $this, 'show_product_gallery' ), 30 );

and I’m trying to remove it by: 

remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', array( $this, 'show_product_gallery' ), 30 );

For some reason it isn’t doing the trick, although this usually works in WordPress / WooCommerce.

Can anyone shine a light on why this might be please? I have also tried hooking my function to other things e.g. 

add_action( 'init', 'remove_it' );
function remove_it() {
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', array( $this, 'show_product_gallery' ), 30 );
}

Cheers,

Edited: This question is different to the previous one about remove_action not working, because that was related to the wrong priority – whereas this priority is correct at 30.

  1. You need to access the class variable globally. Please try this.

    add_action( 'wp', 'remove_it' );
function remove_it() {
 global $WC_Product_Gallery_slider;
 remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', array( $WC_Product_Gallery_slider, 'show_product_gallery' ), 30 );
}
