Theme editor menu item refuses to go away

by

I’ve got an action set up on admin_menu to modify it as needed. I successfully removed the themes menu with the following:

remove_submenu_page('themes.php', 'themes.php');

Now I want to get rid of the useless yet dangerous theme editor.

remove_submenu_page('themes.php', 'theme-editor.php');

This refuses to work for whatever reason. I can remove any of the other appearance menu items but the theme editor refuses to listen to my demands.

That particular menu item is indeed added via add_submenu_page on line 163 of wp-admin/menu.php so I fail to see why I can’t get rid of it.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Use this to get rid of the theme editor but it also gets rid of the plugin editor.

Paste in your wp-config.php:
define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true)
