Remove menu and status bars in TinyMCE 4

Solution 1:

I looked at the source and it was fairly obvious:

tinyMCE.init({
    menubar:false,
    statusbar: false,
        //etc
})

This removes both.

You can also customise what parts of the default menu bar are visible by specifying a string of enabled menus - e.g. menubar: 'file edit'

You can define your own menus like this:

menu : {    
    test: {title: 'Test Menu', items: 'newdocument'} 
},
menubar: 'test'

Solution 2:

If you want to remove entire Menu bar from top

tinymce.init({
    menubar: false,

});

But if you want Custom menubar with some submenu

tinymce.init({
    menu: {
        file: {title: 'File', items: 'newdocument'},
        edit: {title: 'Edit', items: 'undo redo | cut copy paste pastetext | selectall'},
        insert: {title: 'Insert', items: 'link media | template hr'},
        view: {title: 'View', items: 'visualaid'},
        format: {title: 'Format', items: 'bold italic underline strikethrough superscript subscript | formats | removeformat'},
        table: {title: 'Table', items: 'inserttable tableprops deletetable | cell row column'},
        tools: {title: 'Tools', items: 'spellchecker code'}
    }
});
