Disable Post Settings within posts?

Support
#1

I wanted to know if there is a way to disable the Post Settings within posts. We do not want users to have access to these settings.

For context, we are currently going through a digital accessibility review on our website, and noticed that the Background Image setting within the Post Settings creates an image with a z-index of -999999. The image does not show up within the post’s front-end, and our digital accessibility tool is flagging an error because the img tag has no alternative text set.

Overall, we have no use for all the Post Settings as we can either create something through Cornerstone or have it built within the archive layout.

Hey @viterbi_blogadmin,

Thanks for reaching out!

You can try the filter below to remove the page settings. Just add it in your child theme functions.php

function remove_custom_meta_box() {
    remove_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'x_add_design_meta_boxes' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'remove_custom_meta_box' );

Hope that helps and let us know if it works on your end.
