# Remove custom fields write panel

 * Hey Guys
 * I am using Flutter to manage some custom fields for a real estate WP website.
 * As such there are a lot of custom fields for each post (property).
 * When you click Edit on a property, you can see each of these repeated in both
   the Standard WP Custom Fields panel but also in the Flutter write panels.
 * Is there anyway to disable, hide the standard WP Custom Fields panel from my 
   administrators?
 * I could hack the CSS to hide it, but is there a more sophisticated option?
 * Thanks!

 * Ahhh, this is already a feature of Flutter. No need for any other plugins.

 *     ```
       remove_meta_box
       ```

 * Does the reverse of `add_meta_box` which adds the boxes to the post editor page,
   etc..

 * **EDIT:** Added a codex entry since one didn’t exist, have provided two tested
   examples.
