Metaboxes repositioned by user in Classic Editor are stranded #6965

Closed spwarner closed 6 years ago

spwarner commented 6 years ago

In the Classic Editor, users can drag metaboxes from the side to the main 'normal' column, and vice versa. This is saved to usermeta with the key 'meta-box-order_$page'. Gutenberg respects the location the user dragged the metabox to, but does not support drag/drop at this point so the location can't be changed further.

Drag & Drop between side & normal contexts should either be enabled in Gutenberg, or Gutenberg should ignore previous user dragging and render the metabox only in the context it is defined in by the plugin.

In my opinion, it would be most ideal if Gutenberg not only respects user meta through the 'meta-box-order_$page' key but also allows classic drag/drop in the new editor with Admin functionality to turn off this ability and instead set a site-wide locked order of meta boxes for all registered users.

Thanks for the report, @spwarner.

This issue is already tracked with #5841. Closing in favor of that issue.
