There are all kinds of code smells regarding why do you want to serialize and sanitize a check box value. The first is not needed, the second is useless when too many wrong values can be “true” as you seem to be ok with a value of “off” as well as “on” But the main … Read more
Just an idea: the priority of add_action might be the issue. Right now, no priority is used, so the action runs very early and may get overwritten by other actions. Try 999, so the saving of the data happens last. add_action(‘save_post’, ‘acf_add_meta_data’,999); add_action(‘new_to_publish’, ‘acf_add_meta_data’,999);
You have forgot to add name of the input box so kindly modify your code for meta box creation as below function j_meta_box_cb( $post ) { $value = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘j-icon’, true ); ?> <input id=”j-meta-box” type=”text” name=”j-icon”value=”<?php echo esc_attr( $value ) ?>”></input> <?php } Let me know still if you hv any queries.
Move metabox up on side WordPress Post admin
Your code is correct and is ready for a number field. To make it work for a checkbox, you just need to change the type attribute of the input element from number to checkbox and manage the checkbox state. I think this should work: add_action( ‘add_meta_boxes_post’, “spiaggia_add_meta_box” ); function spiaggia_add_meta_box(){ add_meta_box( “spiaggia_meta_box”, __( “Checkbox Title”, … Read more
The wp_dropdown_categories function provides the HTML for a list of taxonomy terms based on the values assigned to its parameters. That is all it does. When users select a value from the taxonomy selector, the selected value is not saved to the database unless the developer saves it. As the developer, you need to decide … Read more
Is there a way to remove the Add boxes from the Screen Options menu metabox?
This did the trick, in jQuery: //get page title var edit_title_page=$(“html head title”).text(); //Confirm if this is right Edit page if (edit_title_page.indexOf(“Edit Form”) >= 0) { $(‘#postbox-container-2’).removeClass(“postbox-container”); $(‘#postbox-container-2’).css(‘width’,’100%’); $(‘#postbox-container-2’).css(‘float’,’left’); $(‘#mymetaboxID’).show(); } It will first check for edit page title, if it’s on the right page, remove the post-box container containing the display none, then apply … Read more
The whole page/post/custom post type post screen is a big form. That means that whenever you hit “publish” on a post type edit screen, the whole form – and that means every content on the page – gets processed and WordPress executes everything. And that “everything” includes all kinds of hooks that you should use … Read more
Forgive me if I am misunderstanding the question but… So, when I get get_post_meta( $get_post_ID()); … you already have the post ID via $get_post_ID() (which is a BuddyPress function I believe) do you not? If so, you are making this far more complicated than it needs to be. get_post_meta() is only returning the metadata. Given … Read more
