Question

I am trying to figure out how to remove specific buttons from the TinyMCE editor. I have researched the arguments in the codex but for TinyMCE is just says array and not sure if I can include some paramters in my arguments of which buttons to show/hide?

I am using the editor in a gravity form and my code is as follows so far

add_action( 'gform_field_input', 'gforms_wp_editor', 10, 5 );

function gforms_wp_editor( $input, $field, $value, $lead_id, $form_id ) {
if( $field["cssClass"] == 'richtext' ) {
ob_start();
wp_editor( $value, "input_{$form_id}_{$field['id']}",
array(
'media_buttons' => false,
'quicktags' => false,

'textarea_name' => "input_{$field['id']}"
)   );
$input = ob_get_clean();
}
return $input;
}

I have removed the HTML tab using the quicktags to false, so hoping I can do something similar to strip out buttons from the editor.

buttons shown right now with the code above are as follows

Note: ‘teeny’ editor is now what I need, just in case someone suggests

Thanks

The tinymce parameter allows you to pass configuration options directly to TinyMCE – see the docs for theme_advanced_buttons and theme_advanced_disable, and the button reference.

To show only the bold, italic and underline buttons:

wp_editor($value, "input...", array(
    'tinymce' => array(
        'theme_advanced_buttons1' => 'bold,italic,underline',
        'theme_advanced_buttons2' => '',
        'theme_advanced_buttons3' => ''
    )
));

Or, to show everything except the bold, italic and underline buttons:

wp_editor($value, "input...", array(
    'tinymce' => array(
        'theme_advanced_disable' => 'bold,italic,underline'
    )
));

As requested, your code modified:

add_action( 'gform_field_input', 'gforms_wp_editor', 10, 5 );

function gforms_wp_editor( $input, $field, $value, $lead_id, $form_id ) {
    if( $field["cssClass"] == 'richtext' ) {
        ob_start();
        wp_editor( $value, "input_{$form_id}_{$field['id']}",
            array(
                'media_buttons' => false,
                'quicktags'     => false,
                'textarea_name' => "input_{$field['id']}",
                'tinymce'       => array(
                    'theme_advanced_disable' => 'bold,italic,underline'
                )
            )
        );
        $input = ob_get_clean();
    }
    return $input;
}
