Meta Box

I was in contact with the theme developer and they offered a code snippet solution. They are discussing whether to implement it into the theme code.

this is what they gave me and it worked for Blocksy

Thank you for looking into it with me.

Hi Peter,

I sent this to them to and i'll ask them that. I wanted to reach out to you also because I wasn't sure if there was a way to connect the CPT to the user ID that I select for the Journal. Like I show in the video, it detects that the author has both post types, but doesn't show in the results, nor in the user post count.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Peter,

Thanks for looking. I did figure out how to add it. I used a file input field instead of a file__advanced field. That seemed to make a difference

What I can't figure out now is how to add the pdf download to the Category page. I have it set up on the archive page, but I also have a category page that I'm using for the individual Issue. This shows the category that certain articles are added to. I was able to put the cover image in and the header image for the category, but it doesn't see to want to read the PDF that I'd like someone to download.

Here is an example. I tried using the "Insert Field" feature that creates this tag {{ term.pdf_download }}

But it doesn't display the PDF url, just an array.

The Download button is where the PDF should be showing for each issue.

Any thoughts?

do you know of a gutenberg plugin that supports site setting fields? I switched from Beaver Builder which has extensive support, to gutenberg and it is not as advanced. I'm using WP Stackable which has support for CPTs with gutenberg. I've asked them many times if they can support Site Settings but they basically told me no. Thanks!

Hi Long,

I was wondering if I can follow up again on this inquiry from last year. I'm still trying to add site settings to my sites so I can have a global settings page. Not sure why it's not connecting. I made a short video showing what I'm seeing.. If you need access let me know.

Hi Long,

wow, that seems like a lot of work. I've built almost 75 websites using the color option built into the templates. This means going through every page and fixing all the banners and buttons for each site. That's hours of work I didn't ask for. I love the plugin, but this worries me that another change like this might happen in the future and I'll be stuck again adding unwanted work to my load of projects.

Is there no other way?

Hi Long,

Thanks so much for you help looking at this issue. The footer is working as you show, but the other parts are breaking the metabox settings still. I've made this screenshare showing what is happening which might shed a little more light into the issue.
