How do I hide a metabox field on a frontend submission form? I have an internal custom field that is for admins only.

One solution is to use the standard WordPress field rather than metabox but wondering if I'm missing a better way?

Hi, you can use a hidden field for that purpose. Alternatively you can hide it with CSS. Or more advanced - use Meta Box Conditional Logic to hide it.

```
            array(
                'name'  => 'Website Screenshot URL:',
                'desc'  => '',
                'id'    => $prefix . 'website_screenshot',
                'type'  => 'text',
                'type' => 'hidden'

            ),
```
It works but the label still shows. Im also setting the type variable twice which seems wrong.

What am i missing here?

I could use CSS for the label but just trying to familiarize myself with metabox a bit more.

I see. Can you try CSS approach, like this:
```
array(
    'name'  => 'Website Screenshot URL:',
    'desc'  => '',
    'id'    => $prefix . 'website_screenshot',
    'type'  => 'text',
    'class' => 'hidden',
),
```
And in the Customizer > CSS and add this:

.hidden { display: none; }
