You can see that in the order here https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference … Read more
add_action( ‘init’, ‘remove_editor_init’ ); function remove_editor_init() { // If not in the admin, return. if ( ! is_admin() ) { return; } // Get the post ID on edit post with filter_input super global inspection. $current_post_id = filter_input( INPUT_GET, ‘post’, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT ); // Get the post ID on update post with filter_input super global inspection. … Read more
Edit As of WP 4.3 this won’t work anymore. WP have completely removed the javascript for the old distraction-free mode. To use this in 4.3 versions, get a copy of javascript file from WP 4.2 release and enqueue it before using code below.
