Maybe your problem comes from the fact that page.php is a reserved template name for default template file which should be located in the root directory of your theme and not in a sub dir such as page-templates/page.php.

So your checkbox code works fine. But the problem is.. the meta key. If you do var_dump( $meta[‘vmo_code_radio_value’] );, you’d get a NULL because the meta key contains a newline and it will be saved as is: update_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘vmo_code_radio_value ‘, ‘enable’ ); But if you do: var_dump( $meta[‘vmo_code_radio_value ‘] ); // note the newline … Read more
