Meta Box

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out.

Both ways: using the UI or PHP code are safe and secure on a WordPress site. In both ways, you still need to install and activate Meta Box AIO (or other single plugins) on your site to use the features.
If you want to deeply customize the field and field group, you can use the PHP code. Otherwise, the UI supports most of the features that Meta Box plugins have.

Regarding the translation, you can use a translation plugin like WPML or Polylang to translate custom fields on your site.

Hello Ash,

WordPress itself doesn't support a setting to remove the single post page but keep the archive page in the frontend. You can try to redirect the single post page to the archive page or another page, for example:

add_action( 'template_redirect', function() {
    if ( is_singular( 'your_post_type' ) ) {
        wp_redirect( get_post_type_archive_link( 'your_post_type' ), 301 );
        exit;
    }
} );

Hello,

I don't see the issue with "translate" setting on my site, please check this screen record https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gKr9ZbJAi2LWQ8J56Qe5Xv19Sef6NHfM/view?usp=sharing

Let me know if you have any questions when using Polylang with Meta Box.

I'm going to report this issue to the development team to check it further. I will let you know when I have more information.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Hello,

Can you please re-upload the file using the JSON format? The txt format isn't correct because all curly brackets are removed.

Or you can upload the file to Google Drive, Dropbox ... and paste the URL here.

Hello Robert,

Thanks for reaching out.

Glad to hear you can solve some issues on your own. I'm not totally sure what happens with the field group. If you know how to reproduce the issue with clear steps, please let me know. Or simply, export the field group that has the problem and share the JSON file with me. I will help you check the issue.

Following the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-builder/#export--import

Regarding the taxonomy custom code, it is an example of how you use the action hook https://docs.metabox.io/actions/rwmb-after-save-field/
You can request a customization service to fix the custom code by submitting this contact form https://metabox.io/contact/

Hello,

The option 'translation' => 'translate' does not work correctly in the textarea field, and always behaves in the same way as a 'copy'.

When you create or edit a translation post, if you add the translation field value, difference from the original field, after saving the post do you see the same value as the original?
