This ended up working for me, uses the tinyMCE init filter to remove the ‘statusbar’ entirely.
/** Edit TinyMCE **/
function myformatTinyMCE($in) {
$in['statusbar'] = false;
return $in;
}
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'myformatTinyMCE' );
Even with CSS, I couldn’t find a way to definitely remove the path but keep the status bar – here’s the CSS option:
function my_theme_add_editor_styles(){
?>
<style type="text/css">
.mce-path {display: none!important;}
</style>
<?php
}
add_action( 'admin_head', 'my_theme_add_editor_styles' );
EDIT
Changed the hook from init
to admin_head
as init
would cause widgets to auto close when you would drag them to the sidebar – strange occurrence.
