You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

You sir are brilliant. I have been trying to solve this one for ages. I installed Adminimize which is brillinat and it seems the only thing it wont remove is the post editor. Using Adminimize however you can specify your own meta things to remove only I didnt know what they were. They were these;
#editor-toolbar
#editorcontainer
#quicktags
#post-status-info

So now success.

Is there a way I can find out what the different meta thingos are … like I didnt know it was called editorcontainer
but how would i find out what other parts are called?
Sorry I dont quite have all the proper lingo.

Hi, great post. One question is there a way to hide editor for only the admin post but keep it for admin page?

  I have the same question. I’d like to be able to write the function so it only applies to specific admin posts/pages. Please let me know if there is a way to do this.
