Media Buttons Disabler Plugin to Remove “Add Media” Icons in WordPress 2.5

Media Buttons, the “Add Media” buttons is a new addition in WordPress 2.5 which replaces the static “Upload” box below the post editing field. When click on one of the buttons, such as “Add an Image”, “Add Video”, “Add Audio” or “Add Media”, a Flash based Media and File Uploader which supports multi-file upload with uploading progress status bar indicator will be opened.

Media Buttons Disabler plugin for WordPress can remove the these media buttons, so that nothing is placed on the bar on top of the post/page writing field, and the view is clean.
