Hide some Fields in Woocommerce

Hey thomasgafo,

Thanks for the screenshot. I’m not sure exactly what you are having problems with though?

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

The only box that the theme actually generates in that list is the Layout box, so that is the only box that we can toggle for now. For the other boxes such as the Open Graph and Product Description, you will have to contact the plugin authors.

We can use the following filter in the functions.php file to control the visibility of the Layout box based on the current user.

/* control builder boxes visibility */
function add_builder_to_posttype($metabox)
{
	$user = wp_get_current_user();

	foreach($metabox as &$meta)
	{		
		if($meta['id'] == 'layout' && in_array( 'author', (array) $user->roles ))
		{
			unset($meta['page']["product"]);
		}
	}

	return $metabox;
}
add_filter('avf_builder_boxes', 'add_builder_to_posttype');

The filter above disables the Layout box when the current user is an “author”.

if($meta['id'] == 'layout' && in_array( 'author', (array) $user->roles ))

You can also use the current_user_can function to check for the capability of the current user and go from there.
