Remove All in One Seo from Posts for Contributors

Question

I am using latest version of All In One Seo Package.

How can I remove metaboxes from posts for User Role: "Contributors"?

Answer 1

This effectively removes metaboxes IF the current user is a contributor. This does not remove any admin column data ( like SEO Description and such when viewing pages ). You need to define which post types to run it on in the $post_types array which will then loop through and target specifically the aiosp metabox ( that's the metabox ID ) and removes it.

function wpse_205080() {
    if( current_user_can( 'contributor' ) ) {
        $post_types = array( 'page', 'post' );

        foreach( $post_types as $type ) {
            remove_meta_box( 'aiosp', $type, 'normal' );
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'do_meta_boxes', 'wpse_205080' );

There's a ton of questions regarding removing metaboxes if you search through the site. The big thing is taking advantage of your browser's Developer Tools to find the ID.

Answer 2

There is a post on the WordPress.org forum for All in One SEO Pack for WordPress about this very subject. You may want to use a role manager plugin to assist with this and manage that users role.
