Disable metaboxes in pro not working

[nwconsulting]

Hi,

I hava a client site where the ability to disable metaboxes for specific roles does not appear to be working. I am using the latest version of Pro and have checked that the meta-boxes.php and added some debug code to try and see where the issue is. It would appear that the following lines is causing the metabox code to not be executed.

if (!$this->is_restriction_aplicable()) {
return;
}

If I comment out the “return” so then the metaboxes are disabled correctly.

Any ideas why this might not be working unless I change this?

Thanks

Hi,

The code of this method is here:

public function is_restriction_aplicable() {
        if ($this->lib->multisite && is_super_admin()) {
            return false;
        }
        
        if (!$this->lib->multisite && current_user_can('administrator')) {
            return false;
        }

        return true;
    }

It means: do not restrict superadmin for WP multisite and do not restrict user with ‘administrator’ role for single WP.
