I created and managed my own custom meta fields for years and I can tell you it was always a headache. I frequently came up against stumbling blocks like yours and ended up banging my fist against the wall. I’ve also worked on quite a few sites which had been flooded with plugins, sometimes so … Read more
Quite simple. Instead of saving the post title, save the post ID, so in the front end you can extract all necessary info. Like so: get_post( $the_saved_ID_value ); or get_permalink( $the_saved_ID_value );. In you code, change this line: echo ‘<option value=”‘.get_the_ID().'” ‘.$is_selected.’>’.get_the_title().'</option>’; Notes: Using a WP_Query seems a bit too much, consider get_posts. Lots of … Read more
I found that the following worked best… when you click “Add Featured Image” from the editor page (the metabox link), the options for “insert into post” and all of the options you mention are missing from the media manager. This was perfect for me, as I wanted to remove the option for users to insert … Read more
add_action( ‘add_meta_boxes’, ‘attached_images_meta’ ); function attached_images_meta() { $screens = array( ‘post’, ‘page’ ); //add more in here as you see fit foreach ($screens as $screen) { add_meta_box( ‘attached_images_meta_box’, //this is the id of the box ‘Attached Images’, //this is the title ‘attached_images_meta_box’, //the callback $screen, //the post type ‘side’ //the placement ); } } function … Read more
You can try to add this line to your code example for the admin_menu filter: remove_meta_box(‘awd_fcbk_awd_mini_form_metabox’, ‘post’, ‘side’); where awd_fcbk is the plugin slug. Edit: This is the metabox that I’m targeting from the plugin source code: //Like button manager on post page type add_meta_box($this->plugin_slug . “_awd_mini_form_metabox”, __(‘Facebook AWD Manager’, $this->ptd) . ‘ <img style=”vertical-align:middle;” … Read more
It depends on what plugin you are using to generate your custom fields. For example the Advanced Custom Fields plugin has this option built in – the field type is called “Post Object“. Documentation: ACF > Field Types > Post Object Screenshot:
Your screenshot seems to indicate that you’re interested in the status message for your custom post type saying ‘Page updated. View page’. If that’s true, the reason that you’re getting ‘Post updated. View post’ is that you haven’t provided status messages for your custom post type. Here’s the code for the admin edit page (edit-form-advanced.php): … Read more
Your update_option should be inside a hook callback and should check to see if $_POST[‘custom_welcome_panel’] is set before trying to update the option. Otherwise that could be overwriting your option every time the page loads. And, honestly, as written I could shove anything I wanted into that option value. I’d just have to send a … Read more
This is was I use to convert textarea with wp_editor() wp_editor($value, “editor-name”, array( ‘tinymce’ => array( ‘theme_advanced_buttons1’ => ‘bold,italic,underline’, ‘theme_advanced_buttons2’ => ”, ‘theme_advanced_buttons3’ => ” ) ));
Unfortunately WP is hardcoded to generate taxonomy metaboxes in that side location. It is tad fragile, but possible to throw generated data around from one location to another: add_action( ‘add_meta_boxes’, ‘move_taxonomy_metabox’ ); function move_taxonomy_metabox() { global $wp_meta_boxes; $taxonomy = ‘test’; $metabox_key = ‘tagsdiv-‘ . $taxonomy; // or $taxonomy . ‘div’ if hierarhical if ( isset( … Read more
