You cannot use a real metabox to do that, hook into edit_form_after_title
instead.
Here is a simple example:
add_action( 'edit_form_after_title', 'wpse_87478_pseudo_metabox' );
add_action( 'save_post', 'wpse_87478_save_metabox' );
function wpse_87478_pseudo_metabox()
{
global $post;
$key = '_wpse_87478';
if ( empty ( $post ) || 'post' !== get_post_type( $GLOBALS['post'] ) )
return;
if ( ! $content = get_post_meta( $post->ID, $key, TRUE ) )
$content="";
printf(
'<p><label for="%1$s_id">Enter some text
<input type="text" name="%1$s" id="%1$s_id" value="%2$s" class="all-options" />
</label></p>',
$key,
esc_attr( $content )
);
}
function wpse_87478_save_metabox( $post_id )
{
if ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE )
return;
if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ) )
return;
$key = '_wpse_87478';
if ( isset ( $_POST[ $key ] ) )
return update_post_meta( $post_id, $key, $_POST[ $key ] );
delete_post_meta( $post_id, $key );
}
