Drag Drop Switch

Disable drag-drop for meta boxes

This plugin adds a toggle switch under “Screen Options” to disable or enable drag-and-drop functionality for meta boxes if Classic Editor plugin is installed and active.

Why use this plugin?

If you’re using the Classic Editor plugin to manage your WordPress posts and pages, you may have encountered an annoying issue: while scrolling through the post editing page on touch screen devices, the meta boxes on the screen often move unintentionally due to their drag-and-drop functionality. This can disrupt your workflow and create unnecessary frustration.

This plugin solves that problem by disabling the drag-and-drop feature for meta boxes on the post editing page when the Classic Editor is active.
