My premium theme came with a bundled version of Metabox and it's working well. It is installed as part of a separate plugin that contains many of the themes features. Basically:

Theme: ACME Theme
Plugin: ACME Theme Functionality (contains Metabox)

I'm creating a custom plugin to add some additional features to my website, and I want to use Metabox in that as well since I already have it installed.

What is the correct way to allow my custom plugin to hook into the bundled version of Metabox that's part of that other theme plugin?

Hi,

If Meta Box is already included in a third-party plugin and activated on your site, you can follow the documentation to use the filter hook to register meta boxes and custom fields with coding.

Great, thank you. I was having some trouble and wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly, but my problem was related to another issues and it's now working properly.

Thanks for your help.
