Disable Dragging Of Meta Boxes And Reset Positions

Our second plugin - Unsortable Meta Box was out yesterday. It makes the meta boxes cannot be dragged or sorted, and could reset them to the default order.

This plugin is made for:

  • Disable dragging of meta boxes. You could disable dragging on all or certain pages (Dashboard, Post, Page, Custom Post Types etc.), which could be set on the Settings page.
  • Reset positions of the meta boxes on certain pages. Do this on the Settings page.
  • TODO - Add roles selection. (Disable dragging or reset the positions for selected roles.)
  • TODO - Save the positions of the meta boxes for recovery later.

Unsortable Meta Box is based on 2 simple code snippets from paulund and StackExchange. If you'd like to achieve the same result without installing a plugin, please refer to the previous links.
