<h3>Disable drag-drop for meta boxes</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Why use this plugin?</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
