Fixes #67207
What?
WordPress 6.7 introduced a breaking change related to metaboxes where the 'normal' and 'advanced' metaboxes area don't render any HTML when all metaboxes panels are disabled in Preferences > General > Advanced.
Previously, the metaboxes HTML content was rendered and hidden with CSS.
Why?
Given the metaboxes content HTML is not rendered any longer, any form and hidden input fields used to save meta are not rendered as well. As such, Gutenberg will not fire a POST request to save those meta because the metaboxes areas are 'empty'.
How?
This PR attempts to restore the previous behavior by rendering the HTML anyways and hiding the content with CSS when all metaboxes panels are disabled in Preferences > General > Advanced.
Testing Instructions
