Woocommerce remove meta boxes - woocommerce

Question

I want to remove some meta boxes like:
Product Short description,
Reviews
I can remove default metaboxes:
function remove_metaboxes() {
remove_meta_box( 'postcustom' , 'product' , 'normal' );
remove_meta_box( 'postexcerpt' , 'product' , 'normal' );
remove_meta_box( 'commentsdiv' , 'product' , 'normal' );
remove_meta_box( 'tagsdiv-product_tag' , 'product' , 'normal' );
}
add_action( 'admin_menu' , 'remove_metaboxes' );
But I cant remove "postexcerpt" - Product Short description and "commentsdiv" - Reviews, because they are loaded in add_filter - add_meta_boxes
Is there any other hook after this to apply my script ? Or maybe there is another method ?
Thank you!

Answer 1

WooCommerce removes the default postexcerpts and replaces it with its own version (the 'Product Short Description' meta box) (class-wc-admin-meta-boxes.php)
So like user1139767 said, you have to alter the priority. However when I tried 11, it didn't work, neither did 20. But 50 seems to do the trick:
function remove_metaboxes() {
remove_meta_box( 'postcustom' , 'product' , 'normal' );
remove_meta_box( 'postexcerpt' , 'product' , 'normal' );
remove_meta_box( 'commentsdiv' , 'product' , 'normal' );
remove_meta_box( 'tagsdiv-product_tag' , 'product' , 'normal' );
}
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes' , 'remove_metaboxes', 50 );

function remove_my_metaboxes() {
remove_meta_box( 'categorydiv','post','normal' ); // Categories Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'submitdiv','post','normal' ); // Categories Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'postcustom','page','normal' ); // Custom Fields Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'postcustom','post','normal' ); // Custom Fields Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'commentstatusdiv','page','normal' ); // Comments Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'commentsdiv','post','normal' ); // Comments Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'trackbacksdiv','page','normal' ); // Talkback Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'trackbacksdiv','post','normal' ); // Trackback Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'authordiv','page','normal' ); // Author Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'authordiv','post','normal' ); // Author Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'postexcerpt','post','normal' ); // Excerpt Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'postexcerpt','page','normal' ); // Excerpt Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'revisionsdiv','post','normal' ); // Revisions Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'slugdiv','page','normal' ); // Slug Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'slugdiv','post','normal' ); // Slug Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'formatdiv','post','normal' ); // Formats Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'postimagediv','post','normal' ); // Featured Image Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'tagsdiv-post_tag','post','normal' ); // Tags Metabox
remove_meta_box( 'commentstatusdiv','post','normal' ); // Comments Status Metabox
}
add_action('admin_menu','remove_my_metaboxes');
just comment out "remove_meta_box" what you want to display in your page/posts.
Also we able to remove the meta boxes by changing on your custom post types name into the remove_meta_box function instead of "post" or "page".

Answer 3

remove_meta_box( 'tagsdiv-product_tag' , 'product' , 'normal' );
isn't correct, use instead :
remove_meta_box( 'tagsdiv-product_tag','product','side' );
to remove the box 'keywords product'

Answer 4

just added priority to add_action:
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes' , 'remove_metaboxes', 11 );
The default priority is 10, so I added 11 to make action after 10.

Answer 5

To remove WooCommerce product categories metabox, add this to functions.php:
add_action('add_meta_boxes_product', 'bbloomer_remove_metaboxes_edit_product', 9999);
function bbloomer_remove_metaboxes_edit_product()
{
// e.g. Remove WooCommerce product categories metabox
remove_meta_box('product_catdiv', 'product', 'normal');
}

Answer 6

I spent hours on this to remove the WooCommerce short description metabox (and then add it up above the main content editor). I could ONLY get rid of the postexcerpt by using the add_meta_boxes hook. admin_menu and adminhead ran too early. So I removed everything else at the same time.
function WH_remove_meta_boxes() {
remove_meta_box( 'postexcerpt', 'product', 'normal' );
remove_meta_box( 'tagsdiv-product_tag', 'product', 'side' );
remove_meta_box( 'tagsdiv-yith_shop_vendor', 'product', 'side' );
remove_meta_box( 'tagsdiv-product_tag', 'product', 'side' );
remove_meta_box( 'wpseo_meta', 'product', 'normal');
}
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'WH_remove_meta_boxes', 99 );
