Not a solution, but you can close the box using the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ symbols on the right, and normally, the value is remembered the next time you go to write a post. That way, incase you ever do need the feature, you can expand the box and it’s there.
For everything except the image/file uploader
You can hide (not actually remove) the upload box by editing wp-admin\wp-admin.css.
Look for #uploading {
and add
display: none;
to the definition.
Or if you want to avoid editing the file every time you upgrade, try this plugin:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Customise Post Page
Plugin URI: http://lcb.me.uk/losingit/
Description: Hides the upload area from the post page. Based on work by Mike Purvis (http://www.uwmike.com)
Author: Les Bessant
Author URI: http://lcb.me.uk/losingit/
Version: 0.1
*/
add_action('admin_head', 'hide_upload_box');
function hide_upload_box() {
global $parent_file;
if ('post.php' == $parent_file) {
echo '<style type="text/css">#uploading { display: none; } </style>';
}
}
?>
Mike Purvis posted the original on one of the mailing lists, I adapted it for hiding the upload box. You could change it to tweak any CSS on the page, of course.
I’ve just hided file uploader box by adding “display: none; “
But what about
Optional Excerpt box
Trackbacks
Custom Fields?
They’re not in the wp-admin.css
use the + sign to close them.
I don’t see the + sign in there.
Nevermind, i found everything in the editform advance script. I can just del whatever there.
miklb, thanks for the wrong answer.
It wasn’t the “wrong answer”, as my reply started with “Not a solution…”
happykev, keep in mind that when you upgrade next, your edits will be overwritten – you’ll need to redo them.
