Description
I have a CPT that, by it's very nature, always has visibility public (not private nor password protected).
Since I don't want users selecting anything other than public, currently, I enqueue some CSS that hides the "Visibility" related fields in the "Publish" metabox on /wp-admin/post.php and /wp-admin/post-new.php, but that just seems kludgy.
Note: in case a "sneaky" user finds my CSS, unhides the fields and sets the post to be private or password protected,
I also hook into wp_insert_post_data to "correct" post_status and post_password.
It would be helpful if there were a filter in post_submit_meta_box() to control whether the "Visibility" related fields are output.
Such a filter would be similar in spirit to the view_mode_post_types filter in WP_Screen::render_view_mode() that controls whether the "View Mode" related fields are output in "Screen Options". Prior to view_mode_post_types being introduced in 4.4, I used to hide those fields via CSS when appropriate.
