I decided to fork this plugin and make it compatible with PHP 7. You can download and upload the zip file into your plugins here:

If the author reads this and wants me to maintain it I am fine with that. I use this plugin a lot.

This is solved. I just needed to hook into admin_menu with an add_meta_box

Found this: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/add_meta_box but can’t seem to get it working.

Argghh as I suspected, just looking at the wp_posts table the data structure has changed between version. I can see the word press developers once thought that enum was a good idea. Heh, didn’t we all. Can’t fault them for changing that except it botched my upgrade.

So I reverted back to all the old files and everything is working again. Looks like I am on version 2.0.5 and was trying to upgrade to version 2.6.5 well its late and I am going to bed. Hopefully someone has insight on my problem.
