How to disable Divi’s Project post type

Are you not using Divi’s “Projects” post type, but it’s still cluttering your admin area?

Just deactivate the Divi Projects post type to remove it.

Here’s a code snippet to do so (don’t include the leading <?php part; it just enables syntax highlighting).

	<?php
	add_action( 'init', 'cliff_remove_divi_project_post_type' );
	if ( ! function_exists( 'cliff_remove_divi_project_post_type' ) ) {
	/**
	* Disable Divi's Project post type.
	*
	* Alternative option for post type (but not taxonomies): Use the 'et_builder_default_post_types' filter.
	* wp-content/themes/Divi/includes/builder/core.php
	*
	* @link https://gist.github.com/cliffordp/718ec5fede29da940b5a2daaeb563817
	*/
	function cliff_remove_divi_project_post_type(){
	unregister_post_type( 'project' );
	unregister_taxonomy( 'project_category' );
	unregister_taxonomy( 'project_tag' );
	}
	}

If you have any projects already entered, you won’t lose that data. Commenting out the “add_action” line will re-enable the post type, and your data will still be there.
