• I have created a custom field for a site I am working on, however, I do not know how to save the data since it is loading multiple checkboxes and dropdowns, I have tried multiple things and searched Google extensively but I cannot find a solution, any help is greatly appreciated:

    // Staff Dropdown
    add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'jpg_affiliated');
    function jpg_affiliated()
    {
    	add_meta_box('jpg_affiliated_staff', 'Who Was Involved?', 'jpg_affiliated_staff_callback', 'post', 'normal', 'default');
    }
    function jpg_affiliated_staff_callback($post)
    {
    	$values = get_post_custom($post->ID);
    	wp_nonce_field('jpg_affiliated_nonce', 'jpg_affiliated_nonce_field');
    ?>
    	<p><strong>Select any staff that were involved in this event and what their role was.</strong></p>
    <?php
    	$team = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'jpg_profiles','post_status' => 'publish','posts_per_page' => '-1', 'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'ASC'));
    	while($team->have_posts()) : $team->the_post();
    ?>
        <div style="overflow:hidden;padding:0 0 10px 0">
            <table>
            	<tr>
                	<td width="10%"><input type="checkbox" id="" name="" value="<?php echo $values['jpg_test'][0]; ?>" /></td>
                    <td width="40%"><label for="jpg_test"><?php the_title(); ?></label></td>
                    <td width="50%">
                    	<select name="" id="">
                        	<option value="">Select role...</option>
                            <option value="Primary Shooter">Primary Shooter</option>
                            <option value="Second Shooter">Second Shooter</option>
                            <option value="Third Shooter">Third Shooter</option>
                            <option value="Lighting Assitant">Lighting Assistant</option>
                            <option value="Photo Booth Coordinator">Photo Booth Coordinator</option>
                            <option value="Marketing Coordinator">Marketing Coordinator</option>
                            <option value="Studio Manager">Studio Manager</option>
                            <option value="JPG Team Member">JPG Team Member</option>
                            <option value="Photogrpaher">Photographer</option>
                    	</select>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </div>
    <?php
        endwhile;
        wp_reset_postdata();
    }
    
    add_action('save_post', 'jpg_save_associated');
    function jpg_save_associated($post_id)
    {
    	// Bail if we're doing an auto save
    	if(defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) return;
    
    	// if our nonce isn't there, or we can't verify it, bail
    	if(!isset($_POST['jpg_affiliated_nonce_field']) || !wp_verify_nonce($_POST['jpg_affiliated_nonce_field'], 'jpg_affiliated_nonce' )) return;
    
    	// if our current user can't edit this post, bail
    	if(!current_user_can('edit_post')) return;
    
    	// Probably a good idea to make sure your data is set
    	if(isset($_POST['jpg_test'])){update_post_meta($post_id, 'jpg_test', esc_attr($_POST['jpg_test']));}
    }
    ?>
