   Hi

   Currently I'm using Level2Categories plugin so that I can disable Authors from publishing in certain categories. however I noticed that if they make a draft and go to the Edit screen, do a "Quick Edit" on their own unpublished drafts (which they are allowed to do), they can choose the categories I was hiding from them! Is there a way to hide the categories from them here too, or hide the Categories box entirely in the quick edit screen?

   Thanks!

   Not sure if I was clear about what I'm asking.

   I just want to either disable the "Quick Edit" feature or get rid of Categories box in it.

   Thanks

   I tried adding an action to the bottom of the Level2Categories plugin with add_action('restrict_manage_posts',... or something like that. The script did show up the way it was supposed to in that screen, but it seems the Quick Edit stuff isn't part of the HTML so I don't really know how to fix that...

   I too am curious about this.... either removing bits and pieces or the entire quick edit.

   I'm wondering about this too. I came across this hook - quick_edit_custom_box. I tried it out, but couldn't figure what it was doing.

   As an admin, I was also interested in this as a way to protect pages from editor level users. I didn't want them messing with the parent pages of a particular page even though I wanted them to have editing/deleting privileges.

   I am using WordPress 2.7. I found the following line in wp-admin/includes/template.php, which I removed. This removes the Quick Edit link all together. Works for me!

   $actions['inline hide-if-no-js'] = '<a href="#" class="editinline" title="' . attribute_escape(__('Edit this post inline')) . '">' . __('Quick&nbsp;Edit') . '</a>';

   That last one worked for posts, and then this section worked for pages:

   if ( current_user_can('edit_page', $page->ID) ) {
   $actions['edit'] = '<a href="' . $edit_link . '" title="' . attribute_escape(__('Edit this page')) . '">' . __('Edit') . '</a>';

   Then comment this next line out: //$actions['inline'] = '<a href="#" class="editinline">' . __('Quick&nbsp;Edit') . '</a>';

   I am not very found of editing core files... There is another way to get rid of the Quick edit link even if not 100% safe.

   You can write a small javascript that will hide the link. Something like:
   jQuery('a.editinline').remove();

   This way no one will be able to click on the link. Of course clever users can still get it to show up...maybe.

   another way similar to the idea of using Javascript is using CSS, something like:

   a.editinline{display:none}
