Default post meta option

[slackerzz]

Hi,
is there a way to set the default meta options for all post?
For example under Meta options->Post Meta i would like to set for all existing e future posts to not show “author info” and “related articles”, or under “Detail Media Options” to set as default “Post detail type” to “None”.
Thank you

Hi, open up meta-boxes.php and find line 635 which defines the standard value for Include author info

Change std to 0

Do the same a bit further down for the related articles.

Then in line 199 change

‘std’ => ‘image’,

to

‘std’ => ‘none’,

Cheers!

Thank you,
in this case with every update of the theme i’ll need to edit this values again.
Is it possibile to include this edits in a child theme?
I tried to create the folder swift-framework inside my child theme and then copied inside the modified meta-boxes.php but it doesn’t work.

You need to make sure to also call the file that requests the meta-boxes.php file to the child theme so the path is correct. Or you can try to make a request in the functions.php file of the child theme.

Hi

Unfortunately this is not supported for the child theme, you will need to repeat the changes each time you update.
