Meta Box

Hello Yasmine,

It is the auto-guessing redirect feature of WordPress, it will redirect you to a similar post if you type something to the URL. Please follow the article below to get more information and disable it

It's not a Meta Box issue so I will close this ticket.

Hello Sinisa,

First thing, please understand that Meta Box Custom Post Types helps you create a custom post type with UI, instead of coding as in the WordPress documentation https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/

Second thing, WordPress itself doesn't have an option to add the taxonomy slug to the post URL (permalink). You can follow the topic below to use the code to add the taxonomy slug to the post URL.

Hello Michele,

Can you share a screen record of the issue on your site? I test to create a block with the same WYSIWYG fields but don't see that. Here is the screenshot of the block setting in the admin area

Hello,

Can you share the code that creates the group field? You should add the subfield ID to the remote validation. Here is an example:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );

function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title'    => __( 'My Post Meta1', 'your-text-domain' ),
        'id'       => 'my-post-meta1',
        'fields'     => [            
            [
                'name'            => __( 'Group', 'your-text-domain' ),
                'id'              => 'group',
                'type'            => 'group',
                'fields'          => [
                    [
                        'name'            => __( 'Text', 'your-text-domain' ),
                        'id'              => 'text',
                        'type'            => 'text',           
                    ],
                ],
            ],
        ],
        'validation' => [
            'rules'    => [
                'text' => [
                    'remote' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php?action=my_action1' )
                ]
            ],
            'messages' => [
                'text' => [
                    'remote' => __( 'test remote validation', 'your-text-domain' )
                ]
            ],
        ],
    ];

    return $meta_boxes;
}

add_action( 'wp_ajax_my_action1', function () {
    if ( $_GET['text'] === 'something' ) {
        echo 'true'; // Valid
    } else {
        echo 'false'; // Invalid
    }
    die;
} );

Hello,

That is expected when there is no content to render, the text "Block rendered as empty." will be displayed. You should add some static content to the block template to replace the text.

Hello,

Yes, I check the source: Current query and understand the issue https://imgur.com/WAkJYY1

It happens when you share the taxonomy (Category) between CPTs. By default, category taxonomy is assigned to Post. But there is no post belonging to the Post CPT, there are some posts belong to Course and Product CPTs.

If you use the Current query source, then there is no post (Post CPT) displayed in the frontend. It should be an issue between Elementor and WordPress, Meta Box is not related in this case. You can deactivate Meta Box, create some CPTs with code and recheck this.

Hello Phillip,

we are wondering what can be done with MB Views?

Yes, it can be done with MB Views. You can create a view template, type Action, hook to the action wp_head, set the location archive page to show the meta tag in the header of the archive page.

Hello Topher,

There isn't an option to add the placeholder to the pencil icon. I think you can set the block position to the sidebar, the block settings will display in the sidebar without the pencil icon.
