mferris77Hi all - hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I've been searching everywhere for info on this but while I think I'm going in the right direction, I can't seem to get it to work.
My ultimate goal is to completely remove the concept of "Trackback/pingback" from my install - which is being used as a CMS. I have disabled the pingback features under Admin options, but what I am trying to do is remove the trackback/pingback checkbox and text that shows under the 'Discussion' meta-box on the page/post write pages. I really don't want to explain why it's there or what it does or why they're seeing it, so I'd much prefer to remove it completely. That's where I'm stuck. I haven't found any plugins that do this so I'm attempting to create my own.
I was thinking I could just create a filter and/or action which could do a replace or regex search for the input/text, but I'm not finding any function or feature that will let me access the page content prior to displaying on the screen. From what little documentation I've found on admin_init or init, these hooks do not pass any arguments (including anything like 'the_content').
So - does anyone know how I can do this via a 'plugin' method, using filters/actions and hooks? I know I could simply remove the code from the 'post_comment_status_meta_box' function in includes\meta-boxes.php, but if I can get away with not editing the core I'd like to take that route.
