WordPress MU

I'm currently using toggle admin menu plugin http://wpmudevorg.wordpress.com/project/Menus

I've also disabled the light grey site admin bar in wp-config by uncommenting.

// Uncomment to disable the site admin bar
define( 'NOADMINBAR', 1 );

A dark grey bar remains with a drop down labeled "New Posts" by default. The drop-down includes "New Page" and "Upload" even though these pages have been disabled. I need to either remove the drop down entirely, or remove these two items from the list.

I also need to hide the "Custom Fields" section of the Add New Post section.

Now the only things left to hide are on the Add Post page... how do I hide custom fields and password this post?

It seems I need http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cms-post-control for WPMU.... hmm

this old plugin might be revamped by someone: http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/clutter-free/ unfortunately it does what you want but only on a per user basis.

Thanks for the links! This code will hide custom fields from the admin panel. The fields aren't disabled and could somehow (i.e. firebug) be re-enabled and/or manipulated. I wish there was a better solution!

<?php 

add_action('admin_head', 'hide_custom_fields');

function hide_custom_fields()
{

	echo "\n<!-- Hide Custom Fields --><style type='text/css'>\n<!--\n#postcustom { display: none !important; }\n-->\n</style>\n";
}

?>

function ds_toggle_metaboxes() {
	remove_meta_box('postcustom', 'post', 'normal');
}
add_action('admin_head', 'ds_toggle_metaboxes');

BTW,
remove_meta_box('pagecustomdiv', 'page', 'normal');

Look for "add_meta_box" lines in the core files:
edit-page-form.php
edit-link-form.php
edit-form-advanced.php

Anywhere there's a "add_meta_box" you can plugin a corresponding "remove_meta_box".

Also, the Toggle Admin Menus plugin has recently been revised to hide the "Favorites" menu items as well.

I may sit down soon and mash out a UI plugin to toggle all the metaboxes as a site option. I'd use it.

I'm playing with that code and not having a whole lot of success... That plugin sounds like it would be pretty unbelievable. I'll post back later with my findings.

New Plugin: Toggle Meta Boxes Sitewide

If you have http://wpmudevorg.wordpress.com/project/Menus , the side effect will be a ridiculously long SiteAdmin-->Options page.
