it says right in the instructions that you just include the class //include the main class file require_once(“meta-box-class/my-meta-box-class.php”); you’d put that in whatever file you are using for the code blocks you posted… not in the function you’ve written. looks like there is a pretty good section called “Usage” at the link you provided. you … Read more
Well, as you already know, meta boxes are for post types only… What you can do is to customize the heck out of that screen. What follows is the code I used on a client’s custom theme. Originally, it was used with the action hook admin_print_scripts-profile.php (which could also be added bellow). /functions.php: add_action( ‘admin_print_scripts-user-new.php’, … Read more
Try this one: jQuery( document ).ready( function($) { // Starts by hiding the “Video Options” meta box $( “#video-options” ).addClass( “hidden” ); if( $( “input#post-format-video” ).is(‘:checked’) ){ $( “#video-options” ).removeClass( “hidden” ); } // If “Video” post format is selected, show the “Video Options” meta box $( “input#post-format-video” ).change( function() { if( $(this).is(‘:checked’) ){ $( … Read more
This can be done with a hidden input field. Make jQuery reflect the contents of the visible list into the hidden field. Update the meta data using this field and build the initial list based on its values.
This is, as you guessed, default behavior. It’s stored in the wp_usermeta table for each user in the wp_user-settings meta_key and does not differentiate between different editor instances. On a side note, the tinymce version of wp_edior() does not cooperate very well with being inside a meta box. Especially if the metabox is moved, or … Read more
I’ve got to know it in Make WordPress UI. The plugin Dashboard uses a very interesting technique: add_action( ‘load-index.php’, array( $this , ‘override_dashboard’ ) ); public function override_dashboard() { if( !isset( $_GET[‘page’] || ‘custom-dash’ != $_GET[‘page’] ) return; if ( get_current_screen()->in_admin( ‘site’ ) ) { require dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/dashboard-override.php’; exit; } } And … Read more
Does lowering the priority of your add_action() call here help? This was mentioned by Kid Slimmer and Piet in the very post you linked to you, in this comment → https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/91184/33604 Their code example uses a priority of 10000 instead of 99, like you’re using – try updating your priority to 500 or 1000 or … Read more

Basics First you need to register the Google JSAPI script. Else you won’t have access to it. And you will need to hook it to admin_enqueue_scripts to have it available in the meta box. Also the JSAP needs to get loaded before your custom script, so you need to set it as dependency. Example: add_action( … Read more
