Disable All Meta Settings of Page/Post by Default

Astra meta settings are page-specific settings. These settings allow you to disable Astra sections on a particular page/post.

In addition, you can disable all Astra meta settings on pages and posts by default (all boxes checked) by using a custom code.

Hence, to do this, add the following filter to the child theme’s functions.php file.

add_filter( 'astra_meta_box_options', 'default_disable_options' );

/**
* Default disable the Meta Options
*
* @param array $meta_option Page Meta.
* @return array
*/
function default_disable_options( $meta_option ) {

    $meta_option['ast-hfb-above-header-display'] = array(
            'default'  => 'disabled',
            'sanitize' => 'FILTER_DEFAULT',
    );
    $meta_option['ast-main-header-display'] = array(
            'default'  => 'disabled',
            'sanitize' => 'FILTER_DEFAULT',
    );
    $meta_option['ast-hfb-below-header-display'] = array(
            'default'  => 'disabled',
            'sanitize' => 'FILTER_DEFAULT',
    );
    $meta_option['ast-hfb-mobile-header-display'] = array(
            'default'  => 'disabled',
            'sanitize' => 'FILTER_DEFAULT',
    );
    $meta_option['footer-sml-layout'] = array(

            'sanitize' => 'FILTER_DEFAULT',
    );
    $meta_option['footer-adv-display'] = array(

    $meta_option['site-content-layout'] = array(

            'sanitize' => 'FILTER_DEFAULT',
    );

    return $meta_option;
