WordPress - Hide personal settings from profile page - php

Question

In profile page (where user could edit his details) there is part "Personal options" with "Admin color scheme" etc.
I know how to remove it with CSS / jQuery.
How could i remove that part with a hook/ filter / php code ?
Thanks.

This will do the trick:
// removes the `profile.php` admin color scheme options
remove_action( 'admin_color_scheme_picker', 'admin_color_scheme_picker' );
if ( ! function_exists( 'cor_remove_personal_options' ) ) {
/**
* Removes the leftover 'Visual Editor', 'Keyboard Shortcuts' and 'Toolbar' options.
*/
function cor_remove_personal_options( $subject ) {
$subject = preg_replace( '#<h3>Personal Options</h3>.+?/table>#s', '', $subject, 1 );
return $subject;
}
function cor_profile_subject_start() {
ob_start( 'cor_remove_personal_options' );
}
function cor_profile_subject_end() {
ob_end_flush();
}
}
add_action( 'admin_head-profile.php', 'cor_profile_subject_start' );
add_action( 'admin_footer-profile.php', 'cor_profile_subject_end' );

UPDATE
Here is a JS (jQuery to be exact) hack as well...
function hide_personal_options(){
echo "\n" . '<script type="text/javascript">jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $(\'form#your-profile > h3:first\').hide(); $(\'form#your-profile > table:first\').hide(); $(\'form#your-profile\').show(); });</script>' . "\n";
}
add_action('admin_head','hide_personal_options');
