    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 MB 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; }
