Hi Barry,
Thanks so much for your quick reply yesterday! That definitely set me on the right path, and the problem is now solved.
Just as an FYI, unfortunately, the tribe_events_meta_box_template filter approach didn’t work for me. I tried a variety of different methods, including this pastebin code that I ended up finding in another support thread you had helped someone else with (http://pastebin.com/dX6N2XDi), but I just couldn’t figure it out for some reason.
My solution ultimately was to use add_action(‘admin_head’) in my functions.php file to enqueue a CSS stylesheet specifically set to appear on the admin/editor screen. Within that stylesheet, I simply used display:none and visibility:hidden to hide IDs and classes in the Tribe Events metabox.
I think your plugin is absolutely wonderful, as is your customer support! My only constructive suggestion for a future version of The Events Calendar would be to add a display / hide set of options to the settings panel so that a user can hide and show metabox fields like this more easily without having to do any PHP or CSS tricks.
Thanks again! I really appreciate it.
