Meta Box

Hi David,

Can you please share the code that creates the custom fields and settings page on your site? If you are using the Builder, please follow this documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-builder/#getting-php-code

Hi,

Here is an example:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'prefix_register_taxonomy_meta_boxes' );
function prefix_register_taxonomy_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ){
    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title'      => 'Category Fields',
        'taxonomies' => 'category', // THIS: List of taxonomies. Array or string

        'fields' => [
            ...
        ],
    ];

    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title'      => 'Tag Fields',
        'taxonomies' => 'post_tag', // THIS: List of taxonomies. Array or string

        'fields' => [
            ...
        ],
    ];
    return $meta_boxes;
}

Hi,

Sorry, I do not understand the question clearly. Do you mean to create different custom fields for other terms of a taxonomy? Like this topic https://support.metabox.io/topic/adding-field-group-for-woocommerce-category/

In the documentation, you can use the same custom fields for all terms of other taxonomies.

Hi,

Currently, the field post is also optimized for the query post. That means there are 10 posts (default, you've set it to 5) that will be queried to display per keyword.

The same query is also cached on the database, see this code https://github.com/wpmetabox/meta-box/blob/master/inc/fields/post.php#L170

So I don't think it is a performance issue with the field itself. You can try to optimize your database or use an object cache plugin such as Memcached, or Redis or limit searching posts with the setting query_args to speed up the search time.

Hi,

Please refer to this topic to create a honeypot field https://support.metabox.io/topic/honeypot-field/

Hi Robert,

If you want to use the View shortcode to render field values of a specific post, you can pass custom data (post ID) to the shortcode. For example:

View shortcode: [mbv name="cta-rugpijn" my_post_id="2501"]

View content:

My Post Meta:

{% set field_value_1 = mb.rwmb_meta( 'field_id_1', '', my_post_id ) %}
{% set field_value_2 = mb.rwmb_meta( 'field_id_2', '', my_post_id ) %}

{{ field_value_1 }} - {{ field_value_2 }}

Hi Warren,

You can use the WordPress function set_post_thumbnail() to set the featured image for the post. For example:

function update_post_thumbnail( $post_id ) {
    // Get the field value
    $my_meta = rwmb_meta( 'single_image', '', $post_id );
    
    set_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $my_meta );
}
