I want to remove the bold option from the toolbar in the wordpress paragraph block.
At the moment, it cannot be done, the paragraph block doesn’t use the format API but instead hardcodes the markup for those buttons in the toolbar component
You could:
- strip out the bold tags on save in PHP
- hide the button using CSS
- Add a CSS editor style so that the font weight of bold text is the same as unbolded text
- Open a feature request on the GitHub repo for Gutenberg
But:
- These won’t prevent the bold shortcut of cmd+b
- Users can still use markdown shortcuts by writing
*bold text* - Users can also write the bold text somewhere else, then copy paste it into the paragraph block
