Forms and WordPress Nonce
The logic here is incorrect: // Verify this came from the our screen and with proper authorization, because save_post can be triggered at other times if ( !isset( $_POST[‘mrlpt_client_check’] ) && !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST[‘mrlpt_client_check’], ‘mrlpt_submit_client’ ) ) { return; } This reads if the $_POST[‘mrlpt_client_check’] is not set and is invalid – return.
