Remove Class Filter Without Access to Class Object
<?php
/**
* Remove Class Filter Without Access to Class Object
*
* In order to use the core WordPress remove_filter() on a filter added with the callback
* to a class, you either have to have access to that class object, or it has to be a call
* to a static method. This method allows you to remove filters with a callback to a class
* you don't have access to.
*
* Works with WordPress 1.2+ (4.7+ support added 9-19-2016)
* Updated 2-27-2017 to use internal WordPress removal for 4.7+ (to prevent PHP warnings output)
*
* @param string $tag Filter to remove
* @param string $class_name Class name for the filter's callback
* @param string $method_name Method name for the filter's callback
* @param int $priority Priority of the filter (default 10)
*
* @return bool Whether the function is removed.
*/

/**
* If filter config is an object, means we're using WordPress 4.7+ and the config is no longer
* a simple array, rather it is an object that implements the ArrayAccess interface.
*
* To be backwards compatible, we set $callbacks equal to the correct array as a reference (so $wp_filter is updated)
*
