Remove theme settings from product submission / editing pages

[amonroe]

Hello,
I am using Kleo theme with a multi-vendor marketplace.
Vendors currently have some front end pages but also some limited back end access to add products. In the back end they only see their own media, products, orders, shop settings and profile settings.

I am having trouble with the “add product” or “edit product” pages, however. The Kleo Theme Product Settings, Header Content, Bottom Content, Revolution Slider Options and Sidebar are NOT things that I want the vendors to have access to or alter in any way. Each product page needs to retain the uniformity… I do not want individual vendors to change the sidebar, header, anything at all. This is actually VERY important.

Could you please help me with this? How can I remove the options form the product pages in the back end? If I can, is there a way that Admin can still see these options in the back end but not the vendors? If not, that’s fine… I really don’t need these options on product pages as it is.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

WP has functions that allow you to control the display of meta boxes: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_meta_box

try this

COPY CODE

if ( is_admin() ) { 
	function remove_product_meta_boxes() {
		if( !current_user_can('manage_options') ) {
			remove_meta_box( 'mymetabox_revslider_0', 'product', 'normal' );
			remove_meta_box( 'theme_product', 'product', 'normal' );
			remove_meta_box( 'header_content', 'product', 'normal' );
			remove_meta_box( 'bottom_content', 'product', 'normal' );
			remove_meta_box( 'post_layout', 'product', 'side' );
			// sidebar
        	remove_action('edit_form_advanced', array('sidebar_generator', 'edit_form'));
        	remove_action('edit_page_form', array('sidebar_generator', 'edit_form'));			
		}
	} 
	add_action( 'do_meta_boxes', 'remove_product_meta_boxes' );	
}

@samv: I’d be happy to talk with you more about WC Vendors over on their site (wcvendors dot com) and their forum. I can help you with this, as I had to do some removing of menu selections on the back-end myself, but I don’t want to keep posting about WC Vendors in SeventhQueen’s forum. 😉
I visit WC Vendor’s forum often so if you post there I’ll likely see it. The plugin devs are very helpful there also.
