I think that the most important question here is, Does this functionality add functionality to my theme or to my site? Page templates in general are theme territory and in my opinion should stay in a theme. This does not mean any functionality on which a template depend should be in the theme as well. … Read more
Register a menu is really register a menu location, but I think you don’t need to register locations so you can avoid the register step. I think what you need is wp_nav_menu( ) function. For example, in the page template: //Get the menu slug stored in page custom meta field //Replace menu_meta_field_name with the correct … Read more

Short answer: no. WordPress core has the basic meta box functionality (registering a box & passing a callback) – what that callback does, or how it works, is entirely up to you. You can either code your own implementation, or use a 3rd party as you mentioned.

You can define, on which area of the edit screen will add the box, like sidebar or central area. Also you have the benefits, … Read more

I packed everything together. Consider using wp_enqueue_script() to use the script. With this code, you will save all URLs as an array. See how I use get_post_meta() to retrieve the saved URLs. function save_custom_metabox($post_id){ if(!isset($_POST[‘source_post_metabox_nonce’])) : return; endif; if(!wp_verify_nonce( $_POST[‘source_post_metabox_nonce’], ‘source_post_metabox’)) : return; endif; if(defined(‘DOING_AUTOSAVE’) && DOING_AUTOSAVE) : return; endif; if(!current_user_can(‘edit_post’, $post_id)) return; if ( … Read more
