Remove Gallery Tab from Media Popup WordPress

• SOLVED

I'm looking to remove the Gallery tab from the media popup. When one or more images are attached to a post, the gallery tab appears. I need to completely remove that (without modifying core files, or using css hacks).

Unset for the media_upload_tabs hook seems to work for the library, but not the gallery for some reason:


function remove_media_tabs($tabs) {

unset($tabs['library']);
unset($tabs['gallery']);
return $tabs;

}

add_filter('media_upload_tabs', 'remove_media_tabs');


This works for the library tab, but not the gallery. Any ideas on how I can remove this functionality at a theme level?

Try making it run a little later

add_filter('media_upload_tabs', 'remove_media_tabs', 11);

try this in your functions.php

function hide_gallery()
{
echo '<style type="text/css">#gallery-settings{display:none;}</style>';
}
add_action('admin_print_styles', 'hide_gallery');

Thanks Romel, but I can't use css hacks for this. I'm looking for it to be a bit more secure.
