Remove Custom Fields MetaBox From Add New Page/Post
I use my Public/Private Morpheus quite a lot but there's something bugging me. I always disable the auto-save feature and, when I write a new post/page, I'm tempted to add Custom Fields before saving first draft. That will do something really annoying. For each Custom Field you create on a new post ... Wordpress adds a new Draft ... and each newDraft is created with nothing but that Custom Field.
When you save the new post ... you won't even have those Custom Fields ... but you'll find those darn Drafts.
As the best way to avoid temptation is to avoid exposing yourself to it, I wrote a tiny plugin that will show the Custom Fields manager only when you edit Posts/Pages. It will be gone from the Add New screens hence not tempting you to create silly random Drafts.
Registration is quick, painless and worth its weight in gold.
PS: Tested on WP 2.8.1 ;)
hi, thanks for the great plugin. can you give me the code to remove Custom Field Box permanently, including when edit Posts/Pages.
Replace this: intval($_GET['post']) < 1 with: TRUE and it will remove them all/every time.
