Removing META Boxes from Post Page

  • Hi,
    I want to remove some of the META boxes in the post page so my authors/contributors including myself don’t have access to them. I’ve removed the ones that come originally with WordPress, but for some reason, the META boxes inserted by plugins won’t go away:

    function remove_post_custom_fields() {
 remove_meta_box( 'commentstatusdiv' , 'post' , 'normal' ); //removes comments status
 remove_meta_box( 'commentsdiv' , 'post' , 'normal' ); //removes comments
 remove_meta_box( 'authordiv' , 'post' , 'normal' ); //removes author
 remove_meta_box( 'st-clicks-tags', 'post', 'normal');
 remove_meta_box( 'socialize-buttons-meta', 'post', 'normal');
 remove_meta_box( 'sharebar-settings', 'post', 'normal');
 remove_meta_box( 'simpletags-settings', 'post', 'normal');
 remove_meta_box( 'postexcerpt', 'post', 'normal');
 remove_meta_box( 'slugdiv', 'post', 'normal');
 remove_meta_box( 'authordiv', 'post', 'normal');
}
add_action( 'admin_menu' , 'remove_post_custom_fields' );

    That’s what I’ve added in there, I know all the ‘id’s’ are right, but for some reason, the st-clicks-tags down to simpletags-settings won’t disappear from the post page. Any ideas?

  • Try to play with the parametr “Normal” change with “side”.

    I use this for remove boxes from dashoard…

    // odebrání widget? z nástěnky
function remove_dashboard_widgets(){
  global$wp_meta_boxes;
  unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_plugins']);
  unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['blc_dashboard_widget']);
  unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_quick_press']);
  unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_recent_drafts']);
  unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_recent_comments']);
  unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_primary']);
  unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_incoming_links']);
  unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_right_now']);
  unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_secondary']);
}

add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_dashboard_widgets', 20);
