I found the answer my self, the issue had to do with a line requesting the content of the metabox (as expected). The line: ‘template’ => get_template_directory() . ‘/lib/metaboxes/custom_textbox.php’, should have been changed to: ‘template’ => get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/lib/metaboxes/custom_textbox.php’, According (to the WordPress Codex) will get the path for the main theme.

IT turned out to be less hassle to just recreate my plugin using the latest and greatest code available here: https://github.com/helgatheviking/WP-Alchemy-Holy-Grail-Theme And it also turned out to have something to do with the filter being applied to the editor. This: <?php echo esc_html( wp_richedit_pre($mb->get_the_value()) ); ?> was the problem, replacing it ultimately with this solved … Read more
try specifying the ID of the post for which you need to get data from: $custom_metabox->the_meta(101);
After you create a custom loop, you need to restore the global post variables with wp_reset_query().
When I’ve used WPAlchemy, the instructions have me put the WPAlchemy directory directly into the wp-content folder – not the theme folder. It looks like your include code points to your theme directory. All the other stuff in the path is specific to your host, and probably not part of the problem.
This was not WPAlchemy problem. It was a matter of running a custom query. Some vital information about current post, like ID of the post I was editing got lost.
After more searching I decided to try one of the alternative methods listed in the checkbox-meta.php example file. I used a “foreach” loop instead of the “while” loop and the checkbox state is now loading properly. Here’s the updated code: <?php foreach ($items as $i => $item): ?> <?php $mb->the_field(‘t_enabled_widgets’, WPALCHEMY_FIELD_HINT_CHECKBOX_MULTI); ?> <input type=”checkbox” name=”<?php … Read more
All I can say is when strange, WTF, moments happen like this, check your white-space or more appropriately ‘delete’ it. There was obviously a ASCII char that I couldn’t see mucking the whole thing.
Per comments, here’s a (very rough) example of accessing repeated fields in the frontend. Note using WPAlchemy extract mode, which gives each field its own meta entry, and makes accessing them a bit simpler. Also using actions in “functions.php” to add metabox and to output content for test purposes – obviously you’d adapt the ‘init’ … Read more
usually you need to global $custom_metabox; $custom_metabox->the_meta(); as described in the alchemy docs. however i can’t tell more unless you post your code.
