Meta Box

Hi Peter, I have an update.

❌ When using meta-box-aio-1.21.1 on WP 6.3.2 it does not work.
✅ When using meta-box-aio-1.21.1 on WP 6.4.1 it DOES work! 🤷

Right now I'm using the latest of everything and it works correctly:
✅ MB 5.8.2 and AIO 1.23.1 and WP 6.4.1

Just wanted to let you know. 🙂

I have new information!

I could only find a few older versions of MB AIO, but I was able to narrow it down a lot.

meta-box-aio-1.21.1 ❌ - did not save
meta-box-aio-1.20.2 ✅ - did save correctly

Somewhere between AIO v 1.20.2 and 1.21.1, something changed that seems to be preventing some of my fields from saving. I'm guessing it might have to do with changes to MB Custom Table, as seems to be the only extension I'm using that had significant changes. https://metabox.io/plugins/meta-box-aio/changelog/#:~:text=1.20.2

This might not be entirely a MB problem, as the project I'm working on was my first ever to use MB, so it's very possible I've done something wrong that just happened to work until now 🤷‍♀️ Here is how I'm creating metaboxes: https://pastebin.com/x3hbhqbx

It works! Good find, Peter! Add that to the docs!
Thank you

Ha! Sorry. You're so right. It's even a snippet I wrote and added myself! 🤦 Apologies for my error. Feel free to delete this topic.

Hi Peter, I can confirm that this is an issue on several sites. It happens even when using default WP theme and only Meta Box plugins enabled.

I believe it is related to this issue: https://support.metabox.io/topic/line-breaks-in-css-getting-wrapped-in-paragraphs/?swcfpc=1 -- Because both problems started happening at the same time after a Meta Box update. And the issue is happening in templates using FSE.

Here is an example url: https://snipsnip.pro/s/629 (screenshot: https://cln.sh/Sr1jhLhh )
The big green box was placed using a shortcode in the Post using Block Editor. And below it is the same shortcode placed in the Single template using the Full Site Editor.

Hello. Yes, it can be confusing at first because args is a sub-paramater of $args in register_taxonomy()

register_taxonomy() has an $args parameter which also has an args key (screenshot: https://cln.sh/f60ZffjL ) which accepts an Array of arguments to automatically use inside wp_get_object_terms() for this taxonomy.

So wp_get_object_terms() has an orderby parameter which can be set to term_order (screenshot: https://cln.sh/SY6PTrBS )

So outside of Meta Box when using register_taxonomy() I can do soemthing like this:

register_taxonomy('breeds', 'post', array(
    'hierarchical' => false,
    'show_in_rest' => true,
    'labels' => $labels,
    'args' => array(
        'orderby' => 'term_order'
    )
));

Hi Peter - Thanks for the reply.

Here are a couple screenshots...

I'm having this problem on a few sites. But I have a couple sites that are not having this problem. So my next guess is that it might be a conflicting plugin or theme issue. I will check into that next.

But if you have any other ideas, let me know. Thank you!
