October 14, 2025 at 2:46 AM in reply to: Unable to save due to email field is set to required #49143

I am facing a similar issue that began to occur after the Meta Box AIO 3.2.0 update (or at least that is when I noticed it). Only for me, I don't have an email field. I have four required fields and I am requested to enter something in the first and last required fields in order to save any changes to the custom fields metabox.

Interestingly, it only requests it for 2 out of the 5 required fields I have. Those two fields are "text" type fields, the others area text area and dropdowns.

It does not actually "save" the inputs from what I can see, it just requests saving similar to what the original poster described (and showed in their video). It does not affect saving or the custom fields from working, but it is annoying to have to enter in something random every time I edit my fields and save.

October 12, 2025 at 11:30 PM in reply to: Question regarding Meta Box AIO best practices #49135

I forgot to add (and there was no way to edit my earlier post) I also need to know: can we create translation files for custom creations with Meta Box AIO if they are not exported/saved as a standalone plugin? I know how translation files can be created for a standalone plugin (the pot, po, and mo), I just need to know if Meta Box AIO is used as is on a WordPress site is it still possible to create translations for the text-domain parts or is that something that can only be done for standalone plugins? Like the previous part of my question: what is the best practice for this and how did you intend for it to be used?

October 12, 2025 at 11:05 PM in reply to: Change incorrect password error message. #49132

I have the same concern as the original poster. I found many snippets online to change the default WP login errors, and they work for me on my usual sites. However, I recently noticed they do not work with MB User Profile messages for some reason. So if I user attempts to log in with the default WP login form, they will see the generic message my custom plugin writes, but if they make the same attempt using the login form created by MB User Profile's shortcode, then it reverts back to the default WP message.

Furthermore, the Falcon plugin has a security setting to Disable detailed login errors: Show a general error message when the login is incorrect, not specifically whether the username or password is incorrect. But that works like the custom plugin I tried: only for the original WP login form/page.

Meaning: if either a custom plugin or Falcon is used to change the login errors to a generic message, that will only work on WordPress' default login screen and will NOT work on the login form created by MB User Profile.

So this makes me think there is something in the MB User Profile code that is making the login form somehow skip the custom plugin or Falcon security override for error messages and display the original WP error messages instead.

I will keep investigating how that can be overridden too, but I thought to post here instead of creating a new topic in case anyone else researching this issue comes across it.

Thank you. I noticed another issue similar to this but not exactly the same. Should I post it in a separate topic under the right forum section or submit it via a contact form for bugs/quirks?

October 4, 2025 at 1:24 AM in reply to: Meta Box AIO with only Classic Editor instead of Gutenberg - recommended or not? #49082

A.
Participant

Thank you. I tested it out again and it works flawlessly with Classic Editor. This time I tried your Falcon plugin to disable Gutenberg and the performance is really great so far.

My only remaining question about this topic is: do you have plans to also make Meta Box AIO compatible with ClassicPress (the WordPress fork)? It is a very good fork of WordPress that does not have Gutenberg at all and is in some ways superior with more semantic code as well as a built in object relationship system. MetaBox + ClassicPress would be a great combination if possible.

Hello.

I have a similar problem as the original poster described above.

The June 23 updates have broken my website. I did not receive any error messages, but all shortcodes used within my MB Views have stopped working.

I was not able to find an older version of Metabox AIO to rollback to for a temporary fix. So please address this as soon as possible.

Summary:
Views are not rendering shortcodes for some reason. Webpages using Views display everything but shortcodes (that they used to display before the update).

Thank you very much.

I tried it and it works. And to show a specific menu, after trial an error, the following code worked for me:
```
{% set args = { menu: 'Secondary Menu' } %}
{% set menu = mb.wp_nav_menu( args ) %}
```
The menu can be specified using the ID or name.

So in the end, I used the bit of code you wrote to show the main/primary navigation, and then this second example to show the secondary menu.

But I want to check, please: is this the correct way to target a specific menu on MB Views?

Alhamdulillah, I found a working solution to my issue that involved creating a custom taxonomy for my lesson post type which is auto-populated with terms based on the course post type title and slug.

I worked with MetaBox custom fields plus the second part of this tutorial here. It works perfectly, in case anyone else needs the same solution.

So now I can use the post slug in the database files to maintain the relationship between lessons and courses (and to easily bulk upload what I need). Meta Box handles my custom taxonomy, but the code snippet I linked to deals with the auto-population of the terms.

The nice thing is with Meta Box handling the custom taxonomy and meta boxes I easily get the filter and quick edit features set up. It took so little time and effort. This plugin is really worth the cost.

In conclusion, issue resolved with a workaround. 🙂

Thank you for putting in the feature request.

I didn't understand your suggestion on the text or hidden fields. I'm not sure how to apply that. I know how to get the post slug in a WordPress query and how to display it if needed, but that is not what I need now.

What I have are two custom post types (course) and (lesson).

When I create a lesson, a custom field (post) allows me to pick the course the lesson belongs to.

But because I want to bulk upload hundreds of lessons, I created a CSV file with all my fields including this custom (post) field. However, I need to fill it in manually by checking the ID of the individual courses.

If I could fill in the slug name it would be easier. That way when I upload these lessons they would automatically be associated with the correct course based on the slug/post name instead of the ID.

This is also useful in the event that I move sites and re-import content without the post IDs, everything will still maintain a relationship based on the post slug/name which won't change and is easier to identify than an ID number.

I hope this clarifies what I'm trying to accomplish.

Please let me know if you have any advice on an existing Meta Box feature that can help accomplish this until the post field can support saving the slug in the database.

Thank you.

I found a working solution using the filter default_hidden_columns
Reference: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/default_hidden_columns/

But I would still like to know if MB Admin Columns has a way to set these settings without having to use a filter, please.

Thank you for your reply. Your recommendation is ideal if I were only going to have a few courses and sections, otherwise the [course] admin page will be long and cluttered - since the parent/child categories are not collapsible or filterable.

This is because I am already using [course] to designate a subject and then a (child) course, something that I forgot to mention in my original post.

Therefore, to also nest the [section]s under [course]s would lead to something like this example:
- Math (parent category = course subject)
  - Geometry (child category = course title)
    
    [section] (grandchild category = section)

It's not very practical long term, and it will not look nice at all in the admin area. Although, it would make queries much simpler and resolve my issue easily.

So I will keep your suggestion in mind for smaller projects where a select tree would be practical.

But can you tell me if anything else I may have missed in MB relationships (or Meta Box in general) can help me accomplish what I want without causing a clutter in my custom post add/edit pages? Perhaps there's a better and more efficient way of working this out and setting relationships between (1) course subjects, (2) the actual courses in those subjects, their (3) sections and their (4) lessons?

Thank you.

Update: I started again from scratch on a different host and everything works fine now. I am still not sure what caused the earlier problem (was it a plugin incompatibility or a server setting?) but all is well now.

Hello. I am having a similar problem as the original poster described. When I add a View and try to insert a field, I can see the following tabs: Post, Term, User, Site, Query, View. But my custom post type, custom fields, and custom taxonomy do not show up anywhere.

In the MB View tutorial video, the screen showed the custom post type fields at the bottom. So I am not sure why I am not getting them. My screen does not match what was shown on the tutorial.

I tried clearing the cache, but the problem persists.

I am using MB View as part of the Meta Box AIO package.
