Disable WordPress’ blogging functionality and disable ‘posts’

I’m currently using WordPress for a website and it will simply be acting as a CMS rather than a blogging platform. This means that WordPress’ ‘posts’ are not needed. Is there anyway of disabling them by adding some code to functions.php?

It would be acceptable to just remove the ‘posts’ option from wp-admin.

Posts are a broader category than they initially appear to be. The post is any content, even if you’re using WP as a CMS. While it might seem like a post is a blog post, really it’s anything you post on the site. Disabling it will kill all content. Better to turn off the various bloggy components, such as comments, and then edit the template files to remove references to the author, date posted, etc, to achieve a CMS site.
