    I just updated my AIO and now when editing an existing post via MB Frontend Submission, the post_title and post_content fields no longer populate with the existing data. It worked fine before the update. I have to use custom meta boxes, instead of the "post_fields" attribute in the shortcode, because I need more control over headings and placement on the form.

    Additionally, the thumbnail upload only works when using "post_fields". I can't get it to work when using a defined meta box.

    Here is my code:

    $meta_boxes[] = array (
         'title'  => 'Event Name',
         'id' => 'event-title',
         'fields' => array(
              array (
                   'id' => 'heading_title',
                   'type' => 'heading',
                   'desc' => 'What is the name of your event?',
                   'name' => 'Event Name',
              ),
              array(
                   'name'     => 'Event Name',
                   'id'       => 'post_title',
                   'type'     => 'text',
                   'required' => true,
              ),
         ),
    );
    
    $meta_boxes[] = array (
         'title'  => 'Event Description',
         'id' => 'event-desc',
         'fields' => array(
              array (
                   'id' => 'heading_desc',
                   'type' => 'heading',
                   'desc' => 'Please provide some information about this event. The more detailed, the better.',
                   'name' => 'Event Description',
              ),
              array(
                   'name' => 'Event Description',
                   'id' => 'post_content',
                   'type' => 'wysiwyg',
                   'raw' => false,
    
                   // Editor settings
                   'options' => array(
                        'textarea_rows' => 20,
                        'teeny' => true,
                   ),
                   'required' => true,
              ),
         ),
    );
    
    $meta_boxes[] = array (
         'title'  => 'Cover Image',
         'id' => 'event-cover',
         'fields' => array(
              array (
                   'id' => 'heading_title',
                   'type' => 'heading',
                   'desc' => 'The cover image is the large photo that appears at the top of your listing. For the best results, use an image measuring 1920x823 pixels (21:9 aspect ratio). The cover image is optional.',
                   'name' => 'Cover Image',
              ),
              array(
                   'type' => current_user_can( 'upload_files' ) ? 'single_image' : 'image',
                   'name' => 'Cover Image',
                   'id' => '_thumbnail_id',
                   'max_file_uploads' => 1,
                   'force_delete' => true,
              ),
         ),
    );

    Hi Stephen,

    Thank you for getting in touch.

    I've tried to run your code on my local site but do not see any issue with the field post_title, post_content. It populates the existing post data when editing from Frontend Dashboard as well.

    Can you please share some screenshots or a screen record of your screen? You can also follow the Debugging Information step to troubleshoot this issue https://support.metabox.io/topic/how-to-create-a-new-topic/.

    Thanks for getting back to me. I updated the record I was working with from a different place and now the post_title and post_content are working fine. Not sure what the issue was, but it's working now.

    The thumbnail is the only thing that still isn't working, though. Again, if I use post_fields in the shortcode, the thumbnail works. As a regular meta box, it doesn't work. Unfortunately, I have to use a regular meta box because I need the thumbnail upload/select to be at the bottom of the form and include a heading and description.

    Ah, nevermind. I figured it out. I didn't include 'post_types'. As long as 'post_types' is defined on every meta box, everything works fine.

    Thanks for your help.
