How to override Groups / Types?

    Thanks for that clean, lean and easy-to-use plugin!

    I’m attempting to remove the default “Types” taxonomy, and try to undo the ‘wp_register_default_user_type_taxonomy’ action.

    I use a custom functionality plugin, where I have this code:

    remove_action( 'init', 'wp_register_default_user_type_taxonomy', 10 );

    But this doesn’t help, the Types taxonomy is still there.

    If we get towards a solution, we will add it to the wiki of the plugin…

    While looking for a workaround, I find that I’m unable to remove the “types” column from the users overview in the backend.

    I use a function like that: 

    add_action('manage_users_columns','lets_remove_users_columns');
function lets_remove_users_columns($column_headers) {
    unset($column_headers['posts']);
    unset($column_headers['backwpup_role']);
    unset($column_headers['user-type']);
    return $column_headers;
}

    This function successfully removes the “posts” column and “backwpup_role” which is created by another plugin… but the “Types” column stays there.

    Success! Finally I found the way to make it work (thanks to Stackexchange):

    Instead of doing simply …

    remove_action( 'init', 'wp_register_default_user_type_taxonomy', 10 );

    …it’s necessary to defer the execution like that:

    add_action( 'init' , 'myprefix_remove_stuff', 0 );
  function myprefix_remove_stuff() {
    remove_action( 'init', 'wp_register_default_user_type_taxonomy' );
}

    Updated the wiki page!
