Enable and Disable Meta Boxes Sitewide on Dashboard, and post/page/link edit forms.
I needed to hide the “Custom Fields” or “Author” meta boxes, and I don’t want the primary and secondary dashboard feed meta boxes on any Dashboard.
Toggles the following in WPMU 2.7
- ‘Site Administrator Gets Limited Meta Boxes?’,
- ‘Post Publish’,
- ‘Post Tags’,
- ‘Post Categories’,
- ‘Post Excerpt’,
- ‘Post Send Trackbacks’,
- ‘Post Custom Fields’,
- ‘Post Discussion’,
- ‘Post Slug’,
- ‘Post Author’,
- ‘Post Revisions’,
- ‘Page Publish’,
- ‘Page Attributes’,
- ‘Page Custom Fields’,
- ‘Page Discussion’,
- ‘Page Slug’,
- ‘Page Author’,
- ‘Page Revisions’,
- ‘Link Save’,
- ‘Link Categories’,
- ‘Link Target’,
- ‘Link Relationship (XFN)’,
- ‘Link Advanced’,
- ‘Dashboard Primary’,
- ‘Dashboard Secondary’,
- ‘Dashboard Recent Drafts’,
- ‘Dashboard QuickPress’,
- ‘Dashboard Plugins’,
- ‘Dashboard Incoming Links’,
- ‘Dashboard Recent Comments’,
- ‘Dashboard Right Now’,
Installation:
Drop into mu-plugins.
Visit SiteAdmin–>Options to enable/disable meta boxes: Meta Boxes (Enable or disable WP Backend Meta Boxes)
Notes:
All options are stored in the existing “menu_perms” site_option array.
Meta box functions are effectively removed, but Quick Edit functions are untouched.
Example, removing the Post Categories meta box will stop users from editing categories while editing a post in the edit-form-advanced, but Quick Edit will still allow the Post Categories to be changed.
I’d like a toggle to remove inputs from the Quick Edit forms(author especially) but that’ll wait for another day.
