Here is code I have used before – the main difference looks to me that you are checking if the meta exists rather than what it’s value is to determine if it should be checked. // Checkbox Meta add_action(“admin_init”, “checkbox_init”); function checkbox_init(){ add_meta_box(“checkbox”, “Checkbox”, “checkbox”, “post”, “normal”, “high”); } function checkbox(){ global $post; $custom = … Read more
No, but it should 😉 There are several custom field class’s (backend). wpAlchemy : https://github.com/farinspace/wpalchemy Meta Box Script: https://github.com/rilwis/meta-box My-Meta-Box: https://github.com/bainternet/My-Meta-Box meta-box-class: https://github.com/corycrowley/meta-box-class Meta Boxes Class: https://github.com/Bakke/Wordpress-Custom-Meta-Boxes-Class For front-end forms, you probably best off with a plugin in Eugene Manuilov’s link.
Not sure if there is a better way, but I am listening to subscribe rather than adding an event listener to the button: wp.data.subscribe(function () { var isSavingPost = wp.data.select(‘core/editor’).isSavingPost(); var isAutosavingPost = wp.data.select(‘core/editor’).isAutosavingPost(); if (isSavingPost && !isAutosavingPost) { // Here goes your AJAX code …… } }) Official docs of the Post Editor data: … Read more
Here’s a very basic example.. /* Code assumes it will be in the theme functions.php file Update the enqueue path if using it elsewhere */ add_action( ‘add_meta_boxes_post’, ‘add_post_metabox’ ); function add_post_metabox() { wp_enqueue_script( ‘mytabs’, get_bloginfo( ‘stylesheet_directory’ ). ‘/mytabs.js’, array( ‘jquery-ui-tabs’ ) ); add_meta_box( ‘examplebox’ , __(‘Example box’), ‘my_example_metabox’, ‘post’, ‘side’, ‘core’/*,array()*/); } function my_example_metabox() { … Read more
You probably did not set the ‘hierarchical’ argument to true in your register_taxonomy. This would mean that it defaults to false, which gives you a tag-like interface. Add ‘hierarchical’ => true to your register_taxonomy.
From the looks of things, your safest bet and easiest route would be to fork the More Fields plugin specifically for your use. The two biggest features I can see your fork needing are a field “factory” and a drag-and-drop interface. Multiple Fields My suggestion would be to look at the WordPress Widget class and … Read more
You can remove the default meta boxes with remove_meta_box and re-add them in a different position with add_meta_box: add_action(‘do_meta_boxes’, ‘wpse33063_move_meta_box’); function wpse33063_move_meta_box(){ remove_meta_box( ‘postimagediv’, ‘post’, ‘side’ ); add_meta_box(‘postimagediv’, __(‘Featured Image’), ‘post_thumbnail_meta_box’, ‘post’, ‘normal’, ‘high’); } This will remove it from the side column and add it to the main column. change post in this example … Read more
The functionality you want may be built from scratch but definitely a custom fields plugin will make your life much easier. I use Advanced Custom Fields, and it gives amazing results and the possibilities are endless. I haven’t used this one, but it seems pretty good too.
Edit: 12/09/2017 See this answer for a more up to date solution to this: How to use taxonomies on attachments with the new Media Library? I’m going to answer my own question here as I have managed to figure out a solution to what I’ve been trying to do. I came to the conclusion that … Read more
I would recommend so. You do (and should) have your own nonce with which to check the origin of the data and the intent of the user. If you have just one nonce for a metabox – then you run into problems if that metabox is removed (not the same as hidden). If removed the … Read more
