[SmartCrawl Pro] Post types settings box

It would be nice if there were a setting to disable the SmartCrawl settings box on certain post types.

I really do not need it for my Woocommerce orders, etc.

Hello there Nathan,

hope you’re doing good today! :slight_smile:

I’ve already forwarded this to SmartCrawl developers and designers for further consideration. It makes perfect sense in my personal opinion, we’ll have to wait and see if and when this will be implemented though.

Meanwhile, there’s a little custom code that could help you with that. Please create a new MU plugin file like: wp-content/mu-plugins/remove-seo-metabox.php

(just create the /mu-plugins/ folder, if it doesn’t exist already)

and insert the exact snippet in there:
```
<?php

add_action( 'admin_menu', function(){



global $pagenow;

if ( 'post.php' != $pagenow || ! isset( $_GET['post'] ) || empty( $_GET['post'] ) ) {

return;

}



$post_id = (int) $_GET['post'];

if ( 'shop_order' != get_post_type( $post_id ) ) {

return;

}



remove_action( 'admin_menu', array( Smartcrawl_Metabox::get(), 'smartcrawl_create_meta_box' ) );

}, 0 );
```
Warm regards,

Dimitris

Thanks! I will test out that code soon.

In my opinion, all plugins should implement this. It just makes so much sense. WordPress has a tendency of getting very cluttered.

Hello there Nathan,

really appreciate the feedback here! :slight_smile:

Our developers already discussing how to further improve that, like removing the metabox for post types that don’t have a frontend view and/or providing a way to exclude specific custom post types.

Thank you,

Dimitris

Revisiting this, it’s been two years, I thought this would be somewhere in SmartCrawl’s UI, but I don’t see it. Am I blind or is this still an open feature request?

Hello Jason Robinson !

Hope you’re having a good day!

The task is still on our list of improvements to be added to SmartCrawl. I’ve added your request as an upvote for it. For now, please use the custom code snippet provided by Dimitris.

Kind regards,

I’d like to follow up here in 2021, that this is indeed still a feature I’m looking forward to.

Just a simple toggle in the “Title & Meta” section for each Post Type, Taxonomy and Archive, even the built-in ones.

Keep up the awesome work.

Hi,

This is a friendly reminder that you should look into this. I don’t think it would take more than an hour to implement this. Just give us a field to type the post type we want to exclude.
