How do I remove a taxonomy from Wordpress?

Question

I\'m creating different custom post types and taxonomies and I want to remove the \'Post Tags\' taxonomy from the default \'Posts\' post type. How do I go about doing this?

Answer 1

Perhaps a more technically correct method would be to use unregister_taxonomy_for_object_type

add_action( 'init', 'unregister_tags' );

function unregister_tags() {
    unregister_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'post_tag', 'post' );
}
