so i’ve successfully implemented both this and you ‘expand the wordpress quick edit’ tutorial. compliments on such intricate and valuable tutorials. i have learned a ton from your site that i can’t find anywhere else. i’m finding that if i do both, however, then i end up w/ two actions attached the the save_post hook and this is causing problems with undefined indexes: ie. nonces from one that aren’t in the $_POST of the other. can you think of a check to only run the added function if it is run on the quick edit screen versus if it is run on the normal edit post page?

Great tutorial. If anyone is already using WPAlchemy Metaboxes, I did a small tutorial on how to use your method together with it. My tutorial can be found Custom taxonomy metaboxes with WPAlchemy MetaBox. Thanks!

so after a lot of trial and error, i managed to remove the description field via a jquery hack.

// this removes the admin description input field when var userSettings pagenow is edit-erw_menu_cats function erw_hide_descrip() { echo "


if ( pagenow == 'edit-erw_menu_cats') {		// begin conditional

$(function(){

	$('div.wrap form.validate table.form-table tr.form-field:last').hide(); // removed from edit category page

	$('div.col-wrap div.form-wrap div.form-field:last').hide(); // removed from add new category page

	});

};											// end conditional

"; } add_action( 'admin_head', 'erw_hide_descrip' );

The only problem is, that now I’m wanting to add an input field on the custom taxonomy “Add New Category” page and “Edit Category” page but have no idea how to do this. any clues?

Hi Shibashake, thanks for the great tutorial. I’ve gotten everything to work, but am stuck on removing a meta box (input field) from the custom taxonomy “Add New Category” page and “Edit Category” page.

By default, the input fields for creating or editing a category are “Name”, “Slug”, “Parent”, and “Description”. I’m trying to remove the “Description” field but can’t figure out how.

I was even just thinking about setting that field to display: none but it doesn’t have a unique class or id. Any ideas? Thanks!

thanks for your quick reply , shibashake.

let just say, in my database, term_id for Halloween is 13. i made a post and i choosed theme ‘Halloween’. after that, i clicked Publish button. then i checked wp_posts, the id of my post is 15. then i checked wp_term_relationships, only object_id with id 15 and term_taxonomy_id is 1. not object_id with id 15 and term_taxonomy_id is 13.
