How to add content with a filter when there’s no content in the editor

Saved Post Meta Array Returns as String
In the end it was a plugin and my code conflicting with each other. Both were saving my post_meta. Resulting in odd behavior of my code and functionality of retrieving the data.
Add commentmeta custom field to every published comment with SQL

Textareas behave quite different to text inputs in the browser rendering engine. I cannot figure out the use case of a single line textarea without scroll bars. If you want to copy the default text input behaviour to all effects, what is wrong with using a simple input type=”text” instead for your custom field? If … Read more
How to display all custom fields associated with a post type – IN THE ADMIN AREA?
You need an action called manage_$post_type_posts_custom_column. This will allow you to add columns to your custom posts page.

How to Manage and link certain custom taxonomy?
I’d set up… Teams and Tournaments as taxonomies Players and Managers as post types. If you link the taxonomies to both post types you will be able to link both Players and Managers to the same Team or Tournament. CPT UI is a pretty good plugin to help create and manage custom post types.
