Function Reference/remove post type support

Languages: English • (Add your language)

Contents

Description

Remove support of certain features for a given post type (s). All features are directly associated with a functional area of the edit screen, such as the editor or a meta box. Additionally, the 'revisions' feature dictates whether the post type will store revisions, and the 'comments' feature dictates whether the comments count will show on the edit screen.

Typically remove_post_type_support() should be attached to the 'init' action hook.

Usage

<?php remove_post_type_support( $post_type, $supports ) ?>

Parameters

$post_type
(string) (required) Post type. (max. 20 characters)
Default: None
$supports
(string) (required) Feature to remove.
Default: None
  • 'title'
  • 'editor' (content)
  • 'author'
  • 'thumbnail' (featured image) (current theme must also support Post Thumbnails)
  • 'excerpt'

  • 'custom-fields'
  • 'comments' (also will see comment count balloon on edit screen)
  • 'revisions' (will store revisions)
  • 'page-attributes' (template and menu order) (hierarchical must be true)

This example removes support for excerpts in posts:
