Hi Pabitra,

I'm not sure whether your implementation works at the theme level (as you mention "hidding" the button) or the permission level. Either way, it seems to work by removing permissions from the 'editor' role. In case you're interested we've made an extension (which works at the permission level) that works by adding permissions to the 'member' role instead. If you are interested you can help us by testing it! See my other post for details.

Best Wishes,
