Show MapPress on specific page in admin?

[morktron]

Hi, I’m just wondering if it is possible to show MapPress on a specific Page in admin instead of on all Pages?

I hope you can help, thanks

Hi, the settings screen lets you select specific post types for the map editor, but there’s no setting to only show the editor on a single page.

I don’t know if it will work for you, but you can use the ‘screen options’ dropdown in the top-right of the WordPress post editor to disable the MapPress meta box when you’re not using it.

Thanks Chris for your swift reply! 🙂

Ok no worries, I’ll tell the client that, thanks again, cheers

If you literally want to show the map editor on only one page, you can do it with a little PHP in your functions.php file.

You would need to use remove_meta_box()

Something like this might work to remove the meta box from all pages except #1234 (I haven’t tested it):

<?php 
function remove_metabox() {
  global $post;
  if ($post->ID != 1234)
    	remove_meta_box( 'mappress' , 'page' , 'normal' ); 
}
add_action( 'admin_menu' , 'remove_metabox' );
?>

Aha excellent, I never knew about remove_metabox

Thanks for code, I’ll give it a go 🙂
