remove_action() not working in WordPress Theme

2 Views

One of my plugin have this coding, 

Class Afke{
public function __construct() {
    add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'setup' ), -1 );
}

function setup() {
    add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', array( $this, 'add_meta_boxes' ) );
}
}

I tried by removing ‘add_meta_boxes’ in theme functions.php by adding the below code,

function remove_thematic_actions(){
 $bcatcf = new Afke();
remove_action( 'add_meta_boxes', array( $bcatcf, 'add_meta_boxes' ));
//remove_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'add_meta_boxes' );
}

add_action('init','remove_thematic_actions');

But not able to remove this action. Kindly suggest me.

  1. You have used ;

    add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', array( $this, 'add_meta_boxes' ) );

    in Afke class, but there is no such a function add_meta_boxes. Use your function like this;

    Class Afke{
  public function __construct() {
      add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'setup' ), -1 );
  }

  function setup() {
      add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', array( $this, 'my_meta_box_function' ) );
  }

  function my_meta_box_function() {
    // do your things here
  }
}

    And, in order to remove that action you need to use;

    function remove_thematic_actions(){
  $bcatcf = new Afke();
  remove_action( 'add_meta_boxes', array( $bcatcf, 'my_meta_box_function' ));
}

add_action('init','remove_thematic_actions');

  2. Instead of creating a new instance, assigning the original to a variable allows to target it:

    Class Afke2{
    public function __construct() {
        add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'setup' ), -1 );
    }

    function setup() {
        add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', array( $this, 'add_meta_boxes' ) );
    }

    function add_meta_boxes()
    {
        add_meta_box(
            'test_metabox',
            __( 'Test meta box' ),
            function() { echo 'Hello world!'; },
            'post'
        );
    }
}
$myAfke = new Afke2;

    Then, elsewhere, in another plugin or in the theme’s functions.php:

    function remove_thematic_actions(){
    global $myAfke;
    remove_action( 'add_meta_boxes', array( $myAfke, 'add_meta_boxes' ));
}
add_action('init','remove_thematic_actions');
