Hide Editor Feature “Template” in Capabilities

Hi @danielcho

Thanks for using PublishPress Capabilities.

Try re-loading the post editing screen a couple of times to see if that makes it appear.

If it doesn’t, let us know what plugin or theme is creating that metabox.

The Pro version of the plugin has an extra feature where you can use CSS to tackle any troublesome elements.

Hi @stevejburge
I’ve tried your suggestion of reloading a few times, but it didn’t seem to change anything.
From what I understand, Template is a built in function/feature of WordPress.

Sorry, it’s not a core metabox.

“Template” is coming from somewhere else.

Jumping in here Template absolutely is a core metabox PROVIDED that your theme supports / has defined multiple templates. They can be defined multiple ways

Guttenburg Templates:

Via Global Templates:
https://developer.www.ads-software.com/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/#creating-custom-page-templates-for-global-use

The latter is the approach taken by us via a single-fullwidth.php template defined in the theme like such:

<?php
/*

Template Name: Full-width
Template Post Type: post, page

*/

Would be great if a theme has either guttenberg block or theme file based templates that the plugin could control the visibility of this metabox.

@thelievense Thanks for clarifying this.

The Pro version can solve this today.

With the Free version, we will add support for the “Templates” metabox in an upcoming release: https://github.com/publishpress/PublishPress-Capabilities/issues/251

Much appreciated!
