Remove description meta box from custom taxonomy - wordpress

I'm trying to remove these areas from one of my custom taxonomies.
I've built them using the two plugins: Custom Post Types UI (to add them) and Advanced Custom Fields (to add fields to the taxonomy).
I can't see anything in the plugin settings to remove these things, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something.
I'm assuming I might need to add a function to the functions.php file. I've seen that hiding things using jQuery is a possibility, but I hear that this might show it initially on load and then hide it, so id like to learn how to doit properly.

I managed to get there with the link above and help from another website.
This function removed the two instances of the 'description' box:
function hide_description_row() {
echo "<style> .term-description-wrap { display:none; } </style>";
}
add_action( "measure_sectors_edit_form", 'hide_description_row');
add_action( "measure_sectors_add_form", 'hide_description_row');
and this one removed the column from the right hand side:
add_filter('manage_edit-measure_sectors_columns', function ( $columns ) {
if( isset( $columns['description'] ) )
unset( $columns['description'] );
return $columns;
});
To use with other taxonomies, just replace 'measure_sectors' with your own taxonomy slug

How to hide some Custom Fields from Woocommerce Admin order page

When logged in as an admin and looking at an Order in Woocommerce, there's a section with all the Custom Fields. Out of the whole list I only want it to display two of them. How do I hide the rest from this view? I don't want to delete them, but just hide from this view.
For every custom field you want hidden, add the following 4 lines of code to functions.php or using Snippets plugin:
add_filter('is_protected_meta', 'my_is_protected_meta_filter1', 10, 2);
function my_is_protected_meta_filter1($protected, $meta_key) {
return $meta_key == 'automatewoo_cart_id' ? true : $protected;
}
If you want to hide more than one, add the lines above again and change 'my_is_protected_meta_filter1' to 'my_is_protected_meta_filter2', etc
if you’re using ACF pro, there is a hook you can use to remove the field on the back end, but it’s not something that’s documented..
You could use a hook to remove specific field if is_admin() returns true.
You may need to play with this a bit to get it to work, the ACF hook is
acf/get_fields
So, for example:
add_filter('acf/get_fields', 'your_function_name', 20, 2);
function your_function_name($fields, $parent) {
// remove the fields you don't want
return $fields;
}
$fields can be a nested array of fields => sub_fields.
You need to set the priority > 10 to run after the internal ACF filter
For orders in Woocommerce the post type is 'shop_order', so your code should be:
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'remove_shop_order_meta_boxe', 90 );
function remove_shop_order_meta_boxe() {
remove_meta_box( 'postcustom', 'shop_order', 'normal' );
}

How do I add product attributes to the product page in WooCommerce?

I'm using WooCommerce and Elementor Pro. Is there any way to add specific product attributes (e.g. gross and net weight) below the Add to cart button?
It seems like an obvious thing but I haven't found options or snippets for it.
First you add attributes to product. Then you use this snippet in functions.php:
// maybe remove tab with attributes
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'remove_info', 100, 1 );
function remove_info( $tabs ) {
unset($tabs['additional_information']);
return $tabs;
}
// show attributes
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'summary_attributes', 35 );
function summary_attributes() {
global $product;
if ( $product->has_attributes() ) {
wc_display_product_attributes( $product );
}
}
Setting Up WooCommerce Attributes
go to Products > Attributes
Add the attribute name
Slug will automatically be created, and we can leave the rest of these options untouched.
Click “Add attribute” button and your attribute will be added.
Configure The Attributes
After creating attribute, now we can add different variation on your product. Click on the Configure Terms option.
Enter the variation
Add some short description
Click on the add new tab

Wordpress remove_meta_box issue

I run into a problem trying to get remove_meta_box() to work
/** remove metabox for catchkathmandu options
*/
function vpm_remove_meta_box() {
remove_meta_box( 'catchkathmandu-options', 'post', 'normal' );
remove_meta_box( 'authordiv' , 'page' , 'normal' ); //removes author
}
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'vpm_remove_meta_box' );
The point is I dont want contributors and authors to edit the site design, so I wanted to remove the catchkathmandu-options. the code obviously does not reflect the condition, the codex for this function supplies the solutions for that but this code at the besic step, still isnt working - I switched back to Twenty Sixteen theme and put in the authordiv section simply to test. But still no dice.
It's added to child theme functions.php
Have I taken the wrong path and am I looking at the wrong thing entirely?
Any help appreciated!
I suppose that you are using a theme called "Catch katHmandu", and you want to remove a meta box for everyone except Admins.
Here is the usage of remove meta box:
remove_meta_box( $id, $page, $context );
And the Reference on the codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_meta_box
As you can read on the codex, $id is the current id of the div that you want to remove. Let's say that you want to remove "Tags box", if look for its container id you will find:
<div id="tagsdiv-post_tag" class="postbox">
...
</div>
And if you want to remove tags meta box, your code will look like this:
if (!is_admin()) :
function my_remove_meta_boxes() {
remove_meta_box('tagsdiv-post_tag', 'page', 'normal');
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'my_remove_meta_boxes' );
endif;
Look for the id of the meta box that you want to remove and remplace "tagdiv-post_tag" from code above with your id.
If you like my answer click the top arrow, as a coder it would mean a lot for me. Thanks!
EDIT:
As #AndrewSeabrook say, try using admin_menu hook instead of add_meta_boxes in your function.

remove activity feed from Wordpress admin

I am looking for a way to hide activity feed from the dashboard using a function. Does anyone know how to do this? I want to completely remove it. I want to achieve this without a plugin.
You can use remove_meta_box() like;
function remove_dashboard_widgets(){
remove_meta_box('dashboard_activity', 'dashboard', 'normal');
}
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_dashboard_widgets');
add above code to functions.php
Dashboard widgets and other meta boxes can also be removed by using the unset function. You might need to play around with the array keys, or use var_dump() to find the path for the widget you're looking for.
// Removes dashboard activity widget.
function remove_dashboard_activity_widget() {
global $wp_meta_boxes;
unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_activity']);
}
// Triggers dashboard widgets removal.
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_dashboard_activity_widget');
Additionally like Hüseyin BABAL mentioned, meta boxes can also be removed like this:
function remove_dashboard_widgets(){
remove_meta_box('dashboard_activity', 'dashboard', 'normal');
}
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_dashboard_widgets');
You'll either have to create a plugin or add a function to your theme functions.php file.
function remove_activity_dashboard_widget() {
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_activity', 'dashboard', 'side' );
}
// Hook into the 'wp_dashboard_setup' action to register our function
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_activity_dashboard_widget' );
Here is the codex page on the subject:

How do I add content types other than Posts in the WordPress admin area?

I want to add a completely custom content type to the WordPress admin panel as per my image below. I don't believe this is called a plugin as I did a tutorial on those and they don't have an admin interface. I want to define a custom create/edit/delete screen for this content.
Is this possible?
What should I be searching for to get help on this?
I believe what you're looking for (as of Wordpress 3.0) is custom post types. There's quite a good tutorial on them here, however googling "wordpress custom post types" should provide a plethora of links.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_submenu_page is a good starting place to look. It will explain how to add new items into the menu.
Now, removing them is a different story. This function I wrote for one of my plugins removes entries from a submenu:
function cleanup_menu() {
global $submenu, $wpdb;
$new_submenu = array();
$remove = array( 'Cast Manager', 'Seating Manager', 'Download Reports', 'new report' );
foreach ($submenu['menuname'] as &$item) {
if ( ! in_array( $item[0], $remove ) ) { $new_submenu[] = $item; }
}
$submenu['menuname'] = $new_submenu;
}
So in your case, "menuname" would be changed to "Posts", I would guess. There's also a function remove_submenu_page, but there's no documentation on it and I haven't looked into it.
