    Hello,

    I am having an issue whereby the custom fields of my custom post type are appearing automatically whenever I want to insert a new (normal) post.

    From a usability POV, I don’t want custom post types custom fields to automatically appear when creating a normal blog post.

    Any help will be greatly appreaciated!

    Can you post the loop in your singles.php please?

    Ah I probably should explain further.

    These ‘Custom post’ custom Fields are only appearing as options to be input into the post when on the Admin screen.

    I am wanting to remove these to reduce the likelihood of the client entering in the wrong information.

    I hope this is clearer.

    thanks!

    put this in your theme’s functions.php to remove the “Custom Fields” for users with a Role of ‘editor’:

    function remove_default_post_screen_metaboxes() {
 remove_meta_box( 'postcustom','post','normal' ); // Custom Fields Metabox
 remove_meta_box( 'postcustom','page','normal' ); // Custom Fields Metabox

}
if(current_user_can('editor')){
add_action('admin_menu','remove_default_post_screen_metaboxes');
}

    Change this: current_user_can('editor') to the Role you want “Custom Fields” restricted to:

    current_user_can('administrator')
current_user_can('editor')
current_user_can('contributor')
current_user_can('subscriber')
