    Is there a way to remove options from the User Profile such as:

    User Permissions
    Author Archive Settings
    Theme SEO Settings
    Layout Settings

    Do genesis folks browse these forums? I find it hard to believe that there is no way to deregister or unhook certain genesis features as part of the framework.

    Thanks, I have been through all these, and none of it works... I don't get it. Even disabling every single file in my child theme, and only using a functions.php and:

    remove_action( 'admin_menu', 'genesis_add_inpost_seo_box' );
    remove_theme_support( 'genesis-inpost-layouts' );
    remove_action( 'admin_menu', 'genesis_add_inpost_seo_box' );
    remove_theme_support( 'genesis-admin-menu' );
    remove_theme_support( 'genesis-seo-settings-menu' );

    It still appears everywhere.

    Is there a Genesis Support Staff area that I could get direct help?

    Hello,

    i've found a solution for all genesis user fields

    add_action( 'admin_init', 'custom_remove_user_profile_fields' );

    function custom_remove_user_profile_fields(){
    remove_action( 'show_user_profile', 'genesis_user_options_fields' );
    remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'genesis_user_options_fields' );
    remove_action( 'show_user_profile', 'genesis_user_archive_fields' );
    remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'genesis_user_archive_fields' );
    remove_action( 'show_user_profile', 'genesis_user_seo_fields' );
    remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'genesis_user_seo_fields' );
    remove_action( 'show_user_profile', 'genesis_user_layout_fields' );
    remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'genesis_user_layout_fields' );
    }

    Thank you for this! I'd been looking at everything for an hour and had no idea what I was doing wrong. Didn't know I needed to wrap this in a function at admin-init.

    Thank you Tasch!

    There were some formatting issues, so I've re-posted the same code here, with my fixes from ` to ':

    add_action( 'admin_init', 'custom_remove_user_profile_fields' );
    
    function custom_remove_user_profile_fields(){
        remove_action( 'show_user_profile', 'genesis_user_options_fields' );
        remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'genesis_user_options_fields' );
        remove_action( 'show_user_profile', 'genesis_user_archive_fields' );
        remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'genesis_user_archive_fields' );
        remove_action( 'show_user_profile', 'genesis_user_seo_fields' );
        remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'genesis_user_seo_fields' );
        remove_action( 'show_user_profile', 'genesis_user_layout_fields' );
        remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'genesis_user_layout_fields' );
    }

    Just getting started in this brave new Genesis world… Thanks in advance for all help:-).
