The mce_buttons group of filters can be used by developers to add or remove buttons/features from the WordPress's TinyMCE toolbar(s).
This filter is passed an array of button ids which determine which buttons are displayed or removed.
Four filter hooks are available:
The following will reveal the hidden "Styles" dropdown in the advanced toolbar.
function myplugin_tinymce_buttons( $buttons ) {
//Add style selector to the beginning of the toolbar
array_unshift( $buttons, 'styleselect' );
return $buttons;
}
add_filter( 'mce_buttons_2', 'myplugin_tinymce_buttons' );
The following will remove the text color selector from the advanced toolbar.
function myplugin_tinymce_buttons( $buttons ) {
//Remove the text color selector
$remove = 'forecolor';
//Find the array key and then unset
if ( ( $key = array_search( $remove, $buttons ) ) !== false )
unset( $buttons[$key] );
return $buttons;
}
add_filter( 'mce_buttons_2', 'myplugin_tinymce_buttons' );
Or, if you want to remove more buttons at the same time:
function myplugin_tinymce_buttons( $buttons ) {
//Remove the format dropdown select and text color selector
$remove = array( 'formatselect', 'forecolor' );
return array_diff( $buttons, $remove );
}
add_filter( 'mce_buttons_2', 'myplugin_tinymce_buttons' );
