Maybe I got you wrong, but why don’t you just put the following line in your functions.php
:
remove_action('eazyest_gallery_thumbnails', 'ezg_thumbnails');
If you have a class function hooked to an action, you can use the class name instead of the class object:
remove_action(
'eazyest_gallery_thumbnails',
array('EazyestFrontendClassName', 'ezg_thumbnails')
);
Right now, I don’t see why this wouldn’t be working. Just tried with an action from one of my plugins.
