Title: Hide "Switch to Editor" Button? Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Hide "Switch to Editor" Button? * Resolved [mapa729](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mapa729/) * (@mapa729) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-switch-to-editor-button/) * Hey SiteOrigin, * First off- LOVE this plugin. I use it with all my clients. Makes designing and handing a site to a client so much easier! * A weird question- is there any way to hide the “switch to editor” button once page builder is up? Its the button that reverts to “text/ visual” edit modes. * I have a client who edits pages sometimes who has zero code knowledge. What will happen is she switches to the default WordPress TinyMCE editor, edits something, and once she saves it the entire page layout and design is destroyed and I have to go fix it. I’d like to hide the button to revert, and instead direct her to use a visual editor widget inside of page builder instead. * Possible? Thanks for all you do! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Support [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-switch-to-editor-button/#post-6772561) * Hi [@mapa729](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mapa729/) * Thanks for your support. * There is a warning prompt when switching from Page Builder back to the editor but no easy way to hide the button at the moment. If you have revisions activated you could roll the page in question back if a problem comes up. * Let me chat to the guys and see if there a hotfix we could offer to hide the button. * Plugin Support [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-switch-to-editor-button/#post-6772642) * Hi [@mapa729](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mapa729/) * [@gpriday](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gpriday/), unfortunately, reports there is no easy way to do this right now. I’m logging a case on our side so we can attend to this request soon. * Thanks for sending feedback, it keeps us moving forward! * Plugin Author [Greg – SiteOrigin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gpriday/) * (@gpriday) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-switch-to-editor-button/#post-6772643) * Thanks for all the very kind feedback mapa729. It gives me a real kick to hear all this 🙂 * Right now, a very dirty hotfix would be to use Javascript to remove that button. You can target it with `.so-switch-to-standard`. Andrew has logged this in our issue tracker and we’ll add a far more elegant filter or even an option to disable this button. * [Mayapur Voice](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mayapurvoice/) * (@mayapurvoice) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-switch-to-editor-button/#post-6772692) * I have installed it on two webistes but the page builder button doesn’t show on one of them where I really need it as it’s for trials. I tried deactivating, reinstalling, deactivating other plugins, etc… still the page builder button not showing. It does show if I create a new post but doesn’t show when i try to create a new page. Also I don’t see any button to switch. What could be the reason? * Plugin Support [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-switch-to-editor-button/#post-6772693) * Hi Mayapur Voice * If you open a new support thread and paste the link here, we’d be happy to help. * Thread Starter [mapa729](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mapa729/) * (@mapa729) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-switch-to-editor-button/#post-6772702) * Thanks for the quick response Greg and Misplon! I love that you guys take user input so seriously. (-: * I’ll just remind my client not to switch views for now, but I’ll look for that update if it comes out in the future. * Plugin Support [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-switch-to-editor-button/#post-6772703) * Thanks for your support. * If it gets critical then Greg’s idea of an admin CSS `display: none;` is always an option. * Cheers for now. * [Joscho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joscho/) * (@joscho) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-switch-to-editor-button/#post-6772770) * Hi SO heroes! I Love your plugin, but I am, just like mapa729, curious to know when you expect to have a solution for the switch to editor button. Would be great if there was an admin option where you can choose to switch it off. I tried to hide it with CSS ‘display: none’ in the admin.css,but this does not work because of the inline style on the a href. Thanks a lot in advance. * Plugin Support [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-switch-to-editor-button/#post-6772771) * Hi * Thanks for your support. * Unfortunately, there isn’t yet a way to do this from within the Page Builder interface. You can, however, do this using CSS. Insert the following function into your child theme functions.php file: * ``` function custom_admin_css() { echo ''; } add_action( 'admin_head', 'custom_admin_css' ); ``` * Let us know if you need any further guidance on carrying this out 🙂 Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Hide "Switch to Editor" Button?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/siteorigin-panels/assets/icon.svg?rev=2556869) * [Page Builder by SiteOrigin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/siteorigin-panels/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/siteorigin-panels/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/siteorigin-panels/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/siteorigin-panels/reviews/) ## Tags * [pagebuilder](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/pagebuilder/) * [siteorigin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/siteorigin/) * 9 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * Last activity: [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-switch-to-editor-button/#post-6772771) * Status: resolved
