Removing buttons from the editor

I have this nice little function to remove buttons from the tinyMCE editor in WordPress, so far I’ve been able to remove most of the ones I need to.

function custom_disable_mce_buttons( $opt ) {
    $opt['theme_advanced_disable'] = 'justifyfull,forecolor,removeformat,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyleft,charmap,indent,outdent,undo, redo';
    return $opt;
}
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'custom_disable_mce_buttons');

The button control list can be found here: http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/TinyMCE3x:Buttons/controls

The problem is, there’s a few more ones I’d like to remove, like the spellchecker and the ‘insert more tag’, but I can’t find documentation anywhere of the codes/names for these buttons to remove them.

Any got any info on this?

Method 1

wp_more – insert more button,

spellchecker – spellchecker button

I’ve tried it with your code on WP 3.5.1 and it worked fine for me.

Method 2

You can try to remove the Spellchecker and the Insert More Tag buttons by adding:

spellchecker, wp_more

to your $opt['theme_advanced_disable'] comma-seperated string.

On my install I have these options:

[theme_advanced_buttons1] => bold,italic,strikethrough,bullist,numlist,blockquote,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,link,unlink,wp_more,spellchecker,wp_fullscreen,wp_adv,separator

[theme_advanced_buttons2] => formatselect,underline,justifyfull,forecolor,pastetext,pasteword,removeformat,charmap,outdent,indent,undo,redo,wp_help

Here is the list:

bold,
italic,
strikethrough,
bullist,
numlist,
blockquote,
justifyleft,
justifycenter,
justifyright,
link,
unlink,
wp_more,
spellchecker,
wp_fullscreen,
wp_adv,
separator,

and

formatselect,
underline,
justifyfull,
forecolor,
pastetext,
pasteword,
removeformat,
charmap,
outdent,
indent,
undo,
redo,
wp_help

Method 3

add_filter("mce_buttons", "tinymce_editor_buttons", 99); //targets the first line
add_filter("mce_buttons_2", "tinymce_editor_buttons_second_row", 99); //targets the second line

function tinymce_editor_buttons($buttons) {
return array(
    "undo", 
    "redo", 
    "separator",
    "bold", 
    "italic", 
    "underline", 
    "strikethrough", 
    //"separator",
    //"bullist", 
    //"separator",
    //add more here...
    );
}

function tinymce_editor_buttons_second_row($buttons) {
   //return an empty array to remove this line
    return array();
}
