 * I removed Author capability to slideshows plugin, but when i log in as author
   inside edit.php (articles editor), i still see the media button to insert slideshow
   shortcodes.
 *     ```
       <div id="wp-content-media-buttons" class="wp-media-buttons">
       <a href="#" class="button insert-media add_media" data-editor="content" title="Aggiungi media"><span class="wp-media-buttons-icon"></span> Aggiungi media</a>
       <!-- need to remove those 2 elements <a> and <div> -->
       <a href="#TB_inline?width=450&inlineId=insertSlideshowShortcode&width=640&height=354" class="button thickbox" title="Insert a Slideshow" style="padding-left: .4em;">
       	<img src="http://www.mysite.it/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/images/SlideshowPluginPostType/adminIcon.png" alt="Insert a Slideshow" style="vertical-align: text-top;">
       	Insert Slideshow
       </a>
       <div id="insertSlideshowShortcode" style="display: none;">...</div>
       </div></div>
       ```
