Question

I was able to remove the featured image metabox from custom post types of pages. Below is what I used:

add_action('do_meta_boxes', 'remove_thumbnail_box');
function remove_thumbnail_box() {
  remove_meta_box( 'postimagediv','page','side' );
}

However, what I really want to do is to only apply this to a specific page template. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Ah, I found a solution.

$post_id = $_GET['post'] ? $_GET['post'] : $_POST['post_ID'] ;
$template_file = get_post_meta($post_id,'_wp_page_template',TRUE);
if ($template_file === 'page-template-name.php') {
  add_action('do_meta_boxes', 'remove_thumbnail_box');
  function remove_thumbnail_box() {
    remove_meta_box( 'postimagediv','page','side' );
  }
}

If there’s a better solution… please don’t hesitate to post.

Thanks!
