Remove Based on User Role

remove_meta_box( 'b2s-post-meta-box-auto', 'tickets', 'normal' );

does not work

Hello @kevp75,

do I understand you correctly, that you are aiming to hide a certain custome post type for a specific user role?

In general, only admins can share any content of your blog or website. If you asign the user role author or cotributer, these users will only be able to share content they have created and published themselves. Therefore, if you have created an element with a custome post type, other wp user roles (that are not admins) won’t be able to share this content.

I will gladly forward your suggestion to add a possibility to regulate the access of different user roles for admins. We will keep you posted on any possible implementations here.

Best regards!

Hi there.
No, what I am trying to do is hide the plugin meta box for specific custom post types.

I have created some custom user roles, with a base of administrator (because they need some abilities that admins have), so all my user roles see the meta box on all posts / pages / CPT’s (because the CPT is based on a page post type)

I just need to know how I can remove the meta box, it seems that the normal method of doing so (remove_meta_box) does not work with your plugin.

Thanks!

Hello @kevp75,

okay, thanks for clarifying. I have forwarded your question to one of our developers.

Hello @kevp75,

I got feedback from our developers and the correct command seems to be the following:

remove_meta_box('b2s-post-meta-box-auto', 'tickets', 'side');

You can check out how to apply this feature here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/remove_meta_box

However, the feature kann only be carried out, if the meta box was preiously loaded.
Please, let me know how this works for you.

Best regards.

Still shows
Used:

add_action( 'do_meta_boxes', function(){
					remove_meta_box( 'b2s-post-meta-box-auto', 'tickets', 'side' );
				} );

Hello @kevp75,

it works if you put it like this:

add_action( 'do_meta_boxes', 'remove_plugin_metaboxes' );

    public function remove_plugin_metaboxes() {
        remove_meta_box('b2s-post-meta-box-auto', 'tickets', 'side');
    }

Cheers

the only difference between what you posted, and what I posted is the inline function. Which works for every other item I use like this.

I have tried it like that as well, and it still does NOT remove the box

Hello @kevp75,

could you tell me in which file and where exactly you are placing this function?
Thank you in advance.

functions.php
