Remove 'edit field group' cog

ACF Pro.

In the page edit screens, in the header of each field is a ‘edit field group’ cog which allows the user to click and edit the field.

I need to hide this from the client – obvious ‘I wonder what this does?’ issues which I like to remove.

Any ideas how to do this site wide?

TIA

EDIT:
Actually, to answer my own question – easiest route is to add this to your functions.php

Thought it might be useful for others so I’ll leave this here.

function pands_admin_colors() {
   echo '<style type="text/css">
           h3.hndle.ui-sortable-handle a.acf-hndle-cog { display: none; visibility: hidden }
         </style>';
}

add_action('admin_head', 'pands_admin_colors');

Hi PandS,

Great that you’ve found the solution yourself. It was exactly what I’d suggest doing.

However you could use acf/input/admin_head to make sure your custom CSS snippet only loads where necessary 🙂
