What problem does it solve?

Custom WordPress admin pages often show collapsible and draggable “postbox” UI, but the user’s collapsed state and drag order don’t persist because the required core script wiring, DOM contract, and nonce fields are missing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Wire core postbox behavior on custom screens: enables WordPress-like collapse, sortable drag order, and Screen Options visibility for your own plugin admin page.
  • Correct DOM + script + initialization: ensures the required .meta-box-sortables > .postbox > .hndle structure and proper initialization via postboxes.add_postbox_toggles( pageId ).
  • Reliable persistence via core AJAX nonces: includes both nonce fields (closedpostboxesnonce and meta-box-order-nonce) so the existing closed-postboxes and meta-box-order endpoints store user preferences correctly.

Quick Start

Use the wp-admin-postbox-sortable skill to implement collapsible and drag-sortable postboxes on your plugin’s custom admin page that persist layout and hidden boxes across refreshes.
