i see, no problem. as this is of more interest for admins than end-users, i think looking for the ids with firebug and pasting them to a a text field would suffice.

the problem is that we don’t know what the other metaboxes are called. i’ll play around to see whether i could build an options page to display those plugins that _want_ to put their metabox on the post screen. the issue is whether there is a hook at the right moment to nip it in the bud.

i’m swamped at the moment, so don’t expect anything in the near future!

Really excellent.

I’ll throw in my cents: it would make sense, if the (planned) interface was able to remove metaboxes added by plugins, too. E.g. I use mappress to add some Google maps, but the client doesn’t need to see its interface on every post or page, just because i don’t want to hardcode those maps into a template for every page that needs one.

Anyway, thanks a lot!

Excellent little plugin. You should market this to WordPress MU users as well, as one I wanted the ability to hide options from other users.
