ParticipantHi,
i'm using include/exclude addon, where i have a custom param (function) to show this metabox only for pages, that have some top parent page ID - it's ok. Problem is, when i save the post (the content from custom field is empty) - so it seems, that my function for test top parent page id is executed early before WP knows ID for current saving post.
How can i solve this?

KeymasterCan I see your function for test top parent page ID? Can you post your code?
September 18, 2017 at 5:05 PM #6988ParticipantThis function shows me a metabox for pages, that have top parent page id "429".
function parent_page_id_check(){ if( is_admin() && isset($_GET['post']) ){ $id = $_GET['post']; $parents = get_post_ancestors($id); $id = ($parents) ? $parents[count($parents)-1] : $id; return ($id == 429) ? true : false; } }September 18, 2017 at 5:10 PM #6990KeymasterWhy don't you use
parentrule? It's supported by default 😉September 18, 2017 at 5:13 PM #6992ParticipantBecause i have not only a single subpage (page - subpage - subsubpage ..)
September 19, 2017 at 4:26 PM #7005ParticipantSo how is the correct using this addon for my purpose?
September 20, 2017 at 2:20 PM #7011KeymasterHi again,
I found the problem for your situation. Your check doesn't run when post is updated, because there's no
$GET['post']. In that case, you need to get post ID via$_POST. Here is the code:function prefix_parent_page_id_check() { $parents = get_post_ancestors( prefix_get_post_id() ); return $parents && 901 == array_pop( $parents ); } function prefix_get_post_id() { if ( isset( $_GET['post'] ) ) { return intval( $_GET['post'] ); } if ( isset( $_POST['post_ID'] ) ) { return intval( $_POST['post_ID'] ); } return false; }September 20, 2017 at 8:52 PM #7013ParticipantHi,
aaaah super - it's working! Thank You Anh. -
