    I'm using MB Builder to create custom fields for a custom post type. I set the custom fields to display in a Meta Box, as shown by the settings here: https://cln.sh/JiRBMQ

    When I go to edit a post in the CPT, I can see the Meta Box as it should be, as seen here: https://cln.sh/g4YXx0

    However, another user on my site sees the custom fields in the Taxonomy sidebar, instead of below the post content, as seen here: https://cln.sh/l1WUFp

    How can I get the custom fields to show up in a Meta Box below the content, as it should be?

    I'm using the latest version of AIO and tested this in Safari/Chrome, but got the same results.

    Thanks for any information you can share with me!

    Hi Mike,

    WordPress support to move/drag&drop meta boxes from the side content to after content. See my screen record https://share.getcloudapp.com/d5uwz5g9.

    Hi Long,

    Thanks, that worked! In case anyone else experiences this, just make sure you have at least one meta box below the post content, and then you can drag something from the sidebar to below the content. I didn't have any meta boxes below the content and it wouldn't let me drag anything until I did so.

    Hello jmcbade,

    Can you please share some screenshots of the issue on your site? If you create a new field group, can you set it to show in the sidebar on the editing post page?

    Screenshots of the fields NOT showing?

    Yes I can select "side" but the fields do not show on the side.

    At this point it's on a localhost because I wanted to give Metabaox another try. It's frustrating that something as simple as this is an issue. I am NOT trying to be adversarial with this. I'm just frustrated.

    ACF has no issues with this ability.

    Hello,

    I don't see that issue on my demo site. I also created a testing site if you want to check the issue. Below is the site credentials:

    Another way, you can click on the up/down arrow in the meta box on the editing page to move the meta box to the sidebar or back to under the content. Please check this screen record https://imgur.com/385Fued
