I was totally confused about why you'd do this until I just saw the last comment and had an "a ha" moment. Great idea!

Ryan:
>> "why would anyone want to disable their html editor?"

So that clients can't mess up their website once you've handed it over to them! As website designers/developers, the more we can strip out of the dashboard, the simpler it becomes for the client to update, and the less likely they are to muck anything up (incorrect embedding of html tags, poor semantics, etc).

Obviously as an administrator or more advanced user, the html editor is a good thing to have. But for some end users, it's better that it's not there.

YOU ARE AMAZING. For some reason, my WP install had this odd habit of always defaulting to the HTML view AND hiding all of the buttons. They'd come back if you switched to Visual and back, but it was super annoying.

You've just put an end to an annoying 2 day search for a solution to this problem. Thank you much!

Great tip, but who wouldn't want the HTML editor, you can do so much more with it. You can't embed iFrames in the Visual Editor, and in fact the tags break if you switch from HTML to visual editor when you have iframe code in your post.
