 * Hello all.
 * I’m hoping you could give me advice on the best way to simplify the WordPress
   Media Uploader.
 * What I’m looking to achieve:
 * 1. I only want the uploader to allow uploads of images (jpg, jpeg, gif, png) 
   and not audio, video, general media, and only 1 image at a time.
 * **Note:** The answer to above may be here: [](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/8107/limit-image-upload-to-one-and-disable-audio-video-and-other-document-file-types)
 * 2. I want to remove the ‘From URL’ and ‘Media Library’ both visually and remove
   the functionality.
 * 3. I want to strip out the ability of the user to ‘Insert Into Post’, so when
   the image is uploaded, it simply says ‘Complete’.
 * I’ve created a small plugin to include my own stylesheet to the admin section,
   but ideally I would also like to edit the HTML to remove the code I don’t want/
   need.
 * Thank you for any help you can provide, I’m been struggling with this one for
   a while and can’t seem to find an easy way to use remove_filters or remove_actions
   to achieve what I want.
