A previous post explained how to hide the WordPress editor for custom post types.

I just noticed that this no longer works in WordPress 3.3.1. It looks like the CSS Ids have changed for the editor. The whole editor is now enclosed by a div with the id ‘postdivrich’.

Thus the hide_editor() function now reads as below. Much simpler.

	function hide_editor() {
		?>
			<style>
				#postdivrich {display:none;}
			</style>
		<?php
	}
