How to turn off frontend 'edit module' button Joomla 3.2.2?

Question

Does anyone know how to disable this functionality? (See pic below)

Additional Information: I'm using Rocket Theme's Metropolis template, so I'm not sure if Rocket Theme introduced this feature via updates or I got it through one of Joomla's updates.

The button is visible to registered users whenever they hover the mouse cursor over a module. When they click on it, it sends the user to the backend login screen. I do not want this feature at all.

Answer 1

In the Joomla backend, go to System >> Global Configuration, and you will see an option called Mouse-over edit icons for, which you can simply set to none.

Hope this helps

This worked for the modules, but how about the articles? Any way to remove all edit links from the frontend? – Horticulture

@RaduDragomir - I suggest you ask a new question on Joomla Stack Exchange – Goodtempered

Just to be specific, this option is on the Site tab. (That tab may not necessarily be the tab shown when you use System >> Global Configuration.) – Etra

Answer 2

In case anyone is still looking for this, it's now called Inline Editing. Located at System > Global Configuration on the Site tab.

Yes, It matters now! – Whitewall

Answer 3

Looks like Inline Editing is now FrontEnd Editing in Joomla 4. Hopefully it stays put for a while.

Still located in /administrator/ -> Global Configuration -> Site tab. Just renamed.
