 * I am trying to remove an action but it isn’t being removed
 * This is what I have in functions.php
 *     ```
       add_action( 'sensei_single_quiz_questions_after', 'remove_action_buttons', 10, 0 );
   
       function remove_action_buttons() {
   
           	remove_action( 'sensei_single_quiz_questions_after', array( 'Sensei_Quiz', 'action_buttons' ), 10, 0  );
   
       }
   
       add_action( 'sensei_single_quiz_questions_after', 'new_action_buttons' );
   
       function new_action_buttons() {
       ```
   
 * The original add action is
 * add_action( ‘sensei_single_quiz_questions_after’, array( ‘Sensei_Quiz’, ‘action_buttons’),
   10, 0 );
 * It is definitely going into the function that calls the remove but the buttons
   are still there on the page. It calls the replacement ok and adds those buttons.
   Thanks

 * I think to remove an action with `remove_action()` it needs to be called with
   the same parameters (except the priority parameter)
 *     ```
       remove_action( 'sensei_single_quiz_questions_after', 'new_action_buttons' );
       ```

 * I presumed you meant
 * remove_action( ‘sensei_single_quiz_questions_after’, ‘action_buttons’ );
 * by the way.
