WordPress SEO by Yoast is a great plugin, but its meta box gets high priority on your post edit screen and that can be a little annoying–particularly when it shows up in the middle of your other meta boxes. Fortunately, Yoast has put a filter in place so you can adjust the priority.

To lower the priority of the WordPress SEO meta box, you can put the following code in your theme’s functions.php file:

function lower_wpseo_priority( $html ) {
    return 'low';
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_metabox_prio', 'lower_wpseo_priority' );

Pretty simple fix for a common annoyance.
