There is no preoblem with it. I moved sidebar 2 to on_show_page and it will be excluded from disabling but still shown. If you move it after you did disable it, it will diappeare for sure. Please enable it and move it afterwards to the show method. If it doesnt help, than something else running at your blog damages the functionality.

The jquery initialization has to be done always, please look at the main core pages too. It owrk perfectly at my single and multisite installations upto WP 3.1.2 with no feature break.
May be you have got a theme or plugin loading it’s own jquery version not only for frontend but also at any backend pages which is the most common mistake theme writers (and also plugin writers) do at the moment!
Please check it with firebug.

excellent article,

but one thing which, I would like to correct.. you don’t need to initialize jquery and other scripts. not sure if it is changed after 2.8. the initialize code break the toggle feature. please let me know if I am missing something.

Wonderful Helen! Absolutely wonderful. I struggled to simplify this process for several of my own plugins, now thanks to you the new releases will have a great new process. I really appreciate this sample.

what if you don’t want *any* of the metaboxes to be able to be turned off? If you move all the add_meta_box calls from on_load_page to on_show_page then the sidebox metaboxes no longer show! What’s up with that?

Absolute Genius
For the past 2 days I was trying to reverse engineer dashboard.php, and suddenly you came along and saved me.
This tutorial is awesome and demo plugin is pure generosity for the WP developer community.

You ROCK.

I know this is an old post, but it seems to work with wordpress 3.0 I been searching for a while to figure out how to do this.. Thanks.

Is there any real changes or best practices for wp 3.0 ? Or is it all the same since 2.8 ?

Hello. I have two questions:
1. How can you toggle a meta-box by default? In your example, the meta-boxes are open. I want to close 2-3 meta-boxes by default.
2. How can you start with 1 column layout selected? I want to start with 1 layout column and let the user to choose the 2 layout column.
Thanks.
