Remove all edit post links in WordPress with a simple filter

Marinus Klasen

How often do you actually click on a edit post link from within the content? For me.. almost never. I usually just click the Edit post/page link in the dashboard bar that’s shown in the top.

If you’re like, and just want to get rid of that link, add the following one-line filter to your functions.php:

add_filter( 'edit_post_link', '__return_empty_string' );

The __return_empty_string function says what it does, it returns an empty string so that you don’t have to write a function to do that 😉

This might’ve been my simplest blog post until now!

Happy developing!
