Caption Disabler WordPress Plugin to Disable and Remove Captions Functionality

Since WordPress 2.6, WordPress has built in support for caption shortcode, which will automatically convert images, videos and other media embedded inside the code to have descriptive caption with framed border. Beside, when blogger or writer uploads and inserts (or pastes) an image by using WordPress Media Uploader, the [caption] and [caption] HTML short code is also automatically inserted.

For WordPress user or blogger who doesn’t want or doesn’t like the caption feature, WordPress developers have added a CAPTIONS_OFF constant into WordPress version 2.6. However, the constant has already been removed and no longer work. Instead, a filter hook called DISABLE_CAPTIONS has been added into WordPress 2.6.1 and all subsequent versions that allows user to disable image, picture, graphic, photo, video and other media captioning via plugin.

Caption Disabler is a WordPress plugin that removes and disables captions feature in WordPress so that all caption shortcode is not been parsed or translated, and no [caption] and [caption] HTML entities are automatically added while editing or writing.

Download

Installation

Extract caption-disabler.php from the ZIP archive, and then upload the plug-in to the WordPress /wp-content/plugins/ directory. Activate the plugin to disable captions support in WordPress.

Uninstallation

Just deactivate the Caption Disabler plugin will do the trick.

Requirement

Caption Disabler only works on WordPress v2.6.1 or above. For WordPress 2.6, use the following trick to disable captions.

    You can do it with one line, no need for defining an extra function:


    add_filter('disable_captions', create_function('$a','return true;'));

    Hi, it seems this has stopped working with 2.6.5? Is that correct? Also, how could get remove the captions on the blog roll page and keep it on the individual post page? I have been looking at the if(is_home() || is_front_page()) { constructions but not found it working yet.

    The solution add_filter(’disable_captions’, create_function(’$a’,'return true;’)); work great even in last version 2.6.5.

    Thanks !!
