Disable WordPress Patterns Sub Menu – Again

The ways I hate WordPress some days are endless. I’m pretty sure they think if they just keep renaming the patterns page ID maybe people will use it.
Nope — and my hot take is if you’re a nutty WordPress purist using any part of Gutenberg you’re a horrible developer. There.. I said it out loud.
Anyway, here is a a few methods to hide this nonsense from end users.

Method 1 – Works 6.9 – 7.0


add_action( 'admin_menu', function() {

    remove_submenu_page('themes.php', 'site-editor.php?path=/patterns');

}, 999 );

Method 2 – doesn’t work anymore


add_action( 'admin_menu', function() {
   
    remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'edit.php?post_type=wp_block' );

}, 999 );

Method 3 – doesn’t work anymore


add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
    // Removes the default core patterns
    remove_theme_support( 'core-block-patterns' );
});
