function add_custom_meta_box()
{
add_meta_box("instruction-meta-box", "Instruction Field", "custom_meta_box_post", "post", "normal", "high", null);
}
add_action("add_meta_boxes", "add_custom_meta_box");
Step2: Create Add Custom Meta Field Function
function custom_meta_box_post($object)
{
wp_nonce_field(basename(__FILE__), "meta-box-nonce");
?>
<div>
<textarea name="meta-box-text" style="width: 1000px;height: 200px;"><?php echo get_post_meta($object->ID, "meta-box-text", true); ?></textarea>
</div>
<?php
}
Step3: Save the Custom Meta Field Data Function
function save_custom_meta_box($post_id, $post, $update)
{
if (!isset($_POST["meta-box-nonce"]) || !wp_verify_nonce($_POST["meta-box-nonce"], basename(__FILE__)))
return $post_id;
if(!current_user_can("edit_post", $post_id))
return $post_id;
if(defined("DOING_AUTOSAVE") && DOING_AUTOSAVE)
return $post_id;
$slug = "post";
if($slug != $post->post_type)
return $post_id;
$meta_box_text_value = "";
$meta_box_dropdown_value = "";
$meta_box_checkbox_value = "";
if(isset($_POST["meta-box-text"]))
{
$meta_box_text_value = $_POST["meta-box-text"];
}
update_post_meta($post_id, "meta-box-text", $meta_box_text_value);
}
add_action("save_post", "save_custom_meta_box", 10, 3);
