Meta Boxs On Custom Post Types

In your options array use an Array for ‘pages’ value instead string (as your above code)

‘pages’ => array(‘portfolio’, ‘your_cpt_slug‘),

Thanks ?? that made it show up on in the right place. But i am getting this :

Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/zackusa/public_html/responsiveweb.co.za/wp-content/themes/grunge-portfolio/includes/new-meta-boxes.php:2) in /home/zackusa/public_html/responsiveweb.co.za/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876

Using the following code

<?php
/**
 * Initialize the meta boxes before anything else.
 */
add_action( 'admin_init', '_custom_meta_boxes' );

/**
 * Builds the Meta Boxes.
 */
function _custom_meta_boxes() {

  $meta_args_array = array(
    array(
      'id'          => 'page_settings',
      'title'       => 'Page Settings',
      'pages'       => array( 'page' ),
      'context'     => 'normal',

          'type'        => 'radio',

            ),
            array(
              'label'       => 'Image',
              'value'       => 'image'
            ),
            array(

            )
          ),

          'rows'        => '5'
        )
      )
    )
  );

  /* load each metabox */
  foreach( $meta_args_array as $meta_args ) {
    ot_register_meta_box( $meta_args );
  }
}

Any suggestions?

Check your new-meta-boxes.php file. Maybe it have some space before <?php

Thanks, I was calling the files in the wrong order. Silly mistake. It all is working now and i have only one final question

This may be really simple but i seem to be stuck on it.

How do i use these meta box fields? When its in option tree i use the get_option_tree(“theid”);

but is there anything i need to do for it to work here? for example if i had a field which gave the option of adding extra text to a place. What code would i use to echo it out?

I have tried get_field() get_option() _custom_meta_boxes() and of course get_option_tree()

Thanks so much for all your help thus far

Most of meta box’s data is saved as post/page metadata so you just simple use: get_post_meta($your_post_id, 'your_field_id') ??

Worked like a charm! Thank you!

Thanks saved me some time with this too. I was trying to output it the OT way, but they are metadata!
