Values in Meta box erase themself.

  • I have a few custom posts types, and with them some custom meta-boxes.
    Everything works fine but suddenly the value of the post-type goes blank, I don’t really understand whats happening or why, but the fact is that works fine for a couple of minutes and then, goes blank. Im going crazy :S

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    thanks, esmi, will try.

    I also had this problem, and found that it’s a conflict with the wordpress autosave feature, who ignores the content in the meta boxes.

    I don’t know what your save function looks like, but this is what works for me. 

    function update_website_url(){
global $post;
if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) {
return $post->ID;
} else {
update_post_meta($post->ID, “website_url”, $_POST["website_url"]);
}
}

    I followed the tutorial below to learn about meta boxes, and I ended up with the same problem as you, but in the comments of the post, a guy named John Sparrow has come up with the solution.

    Check it out!
