Hello,

Do you mean deactivating the plugin Meta Box if the Block editor is enabled? Or a specific meta box (field group) on your site?

I mean specific meta box (field group) on your site?

For example i made a metabox field group that inserts hero image with classic editor.

I want to disable ( not cosmetic hide ) , completely disable this field group if user switch to block editor.

Thanks

Hello,

You might need to use the code to check the block or classic editor is available when editing the post and registering the meta box. For example:
```
if( code_check_editor_here ) {
    add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );
}

function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';

    $meta_boxes[] = [
        ...
    ];

    return $meta_boxes;
}
```
