Anyway, I don’t see a way to edit these options or the entire toolbar. Any help wuld be greatly appreciated!

If your wysiwyg is enabled, you don’t have to deal with the quicktags.js at the location mentioned by phucked. * It is possible to customize the RTE, too, (try a search) but I don’t know where since I never use it. * Thread Starter [cielogrande](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cielogrande/) * (@cielogrande) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/completely-remove-quicktags/#post-464561) * moshu- Yes, there is, indeed, confusion here, and it appears to be mine! I have wysiswyg ENABLED and the tinymce toolbar is visible in the Write Post window. I was under the assumption that the the tinymce toolbar was a function of enabling the wysiwyg function. Am I wrong or even more confused than I originally thought???

Or trying to confuse me? 😉 * The tinymce toolbar **is** the wysiwyg itself. It does NOT enable anything. ( Just creates mess… but this is strictly a personal opinion of mine) * If you disable the wysiwig or tinymce or RTE (all names mean the same monster!)– then you’ll see the Quicktags. No quicktags while the wysiwyg is enabled. * JUst out of curiousity, for disabling it: > Users > Your profile > left bottom corner: uncheck. * [spencerp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencerp/) * (@spencerp) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/completely-remove-quicktags/#post-464565) * I’m starting to think, that the OP wants to totally remove all the CODE for it, in general? Meaning, he’d need to edit the wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php file itself.. removing all the PHP call tags and javascript codes for it too.. am I on the right track here cielogrande? * spencerp * Thread Starter [cielogrande](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cielogrande/) * (@cielogrande) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/completely-remove-quicktags/#post-464567) * OK- I got it done…As you all indicated, it was just a matter of unchecking the right boxes, though I must say that WP’s use of the terms “disable” and “enable” don’t seem to conform to what most people’s definitions of those terms would be. Anyway… thanks one and all!!!
