   I want to remove most of the metaboxes off the editing page for a particular role. One of them is the featured image metabox. In my code I have in a function:

   function author_remove_boxes ...
   remove_meta_box( 'postimagediv', 'post', 'normal' );

   that function is called as such:

   add_action('admin_init', 'author_remove_boxes');

   Even in the wordpress code I found such:

   wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php: add_meta_box('postimagediv', __('Featured Image'), 'post_thumbnail_meta_box', $post_type, 'side', 'low');

   However, my featured image metabox is still appearing. All the other boxes I've tried have disappeared. Any thoughts anyone?

   Yes - i have the same problem

   Code in meta-boxes.php looks like:

   /**
   * Display post thumbnail meta box.
   *
   * @since 2.9.0
   */
   function post_thumbnail_meta_box() {
   global $post;
   $thumbnail_id = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_thumbnail_id', true );
   echo _wp_post_thumbnail_html( $thumbnail_id );
   }

   Code in edit_form_advanced.php looks like:

   if ( current_theme_supports( 'post-thumbnails', $post_type ) && post_type_supports( $post_type, 'thumbnail' )
   && ( ! is_multisite() || ( ( $mu_media_buttons = get_site_option( 'mu_media_buttons', array() ) ) && ! empty( $mu_media_buttons['image'] ) ) ) )
   add_meta_box('postimagediv', __('Featured Image'), 'post_thumbnail_meta_box', $post_type, 'side', 'low');

   ... nothing effect to change Parameter

   Try:
   add_action('admin_menu','author_remove_boxes');

   I think this works:
   

   add_action('do_meta_boxes', 'author_remove_boxes');

   I have the same problem. The only way I overcome it was by injecting some javascript code via any hook (added it to another meta box I added):

   jQuery("#postimagediv").hide();
