# Disable/Hide WordPress Default Text Editor

 * I want to disable/hide the default text editor for one specific custom post type.
   Previously, I had set the ‘Supports’ checkbox for Editor to checked. I have now
   unchecked and it still shows up via standard WordPress edit. I’m not using Gutenberg.
   
   What am I missing or why is it not disabling the WP text edito when the box is
   unchecked?Thank you.

 * Only way I can think would be if something else is somehow forcing editor for
   all post types, or if you potentially have the same post type being registered
   elsewhere and it’s overriding the CPTUI version.
 * I just confirmed that unsetting “Editor” should be removing it. My local has 
   a “movie” post type that only has title and featured image enabled.

 * Hi. Silly me. I just realize that I convert that post type over to ACF. Once 
   I unchecked that box there, it disable the text editor.
   Thank you.
