Deactivate Bookings

[Clifford P]

Is there a way to deactivate / hide / remove the Bookings options from wp-admin?

Hi Clifford,

The following does this (the examples as written here require PHP 5.3 because of the use of anonymous functions):

//Removes bookings page
add_action( 'admin_menu', function(){
    remove_submenu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=event', 'bookings' );
}, 20 );

//Removes tickets meta box
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes_event', function(){
    remove_meta_box( 'eventorganiser_tickets', 'event', 'normal' );
}, 20 );

Didn’t work.

I tried in my functionality plugin then in my active theme’s functions.php.

I have PHP v5.5

My mistake. For some reason it now works to make Events -> Bookings submenu page removed from the wp-admin menu (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=event&page=bookings) and the Event Tickets metabox go away from the Event post type wp-admin page.

However, Settings -> Event Organiser -> “Bookings” (/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=event-settings&tab=bookings) and “Booking Form” (/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=event-settings&tab=booking-form) tabs still appear.

Is there a way to remove those as well?

Yup:

add_filter( 'eventorganiser_settings_tabs',function( $tabs ){
    unset( $tabs['bookings'] );
    unset( $tabs['booking-form'] );
    return $tabs;
}, 20 );

Works. tyvm.

Maybe consider adding a checkbox in EO settings to “turn off all Bookings options” if won’t be using it.
