Hi,

I’m trying to add a custom meta boxes to the events page, but I can’t seem to find a hook for it. I have trying the regular load-post.php and load-post-new.php but it’s not showing up, any suggestions?

Thanks,
Shelomo

Hi,

If you just wish to use Custom Fields, they are already active within an event. If they are not showing, check the Screen Options.

If you are using add_meta_box(), then you need to make sure you have added the post_type as ‘espresso_events’ within the function.

If you take the first example here http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_meta_box then the $screen would be replaced with ‘espresso_events’

Thanks Dean for your help!
I did add that and I still don’t see the box appearing on the page.
Here is my code:

add_action( 'load-post.php', 'fundcode_meta_boxes_setup' );
add_action( 'load-post-new.php', 'fundcode_meta_boxes_setup' );

function fundcode_meta_boxes_setup() {
  add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'fundcode_add_meta_boxes' );
}

function fundcode_add_meta_boxes() {
  add_meta_box(
    'fundcode-occasion', 
    esc_html__( 'Occasion', 'event_espresso' ), 
    'fundcode_occasion_meta_box', 
    'espresso_events', 
    'side', 
    'default'  
  );
}

Hi,

Lose the following:

add_action( 'load-post.php', 'fundcode_meta_boxes_setup' );
add_action( 'load-post-new.php', 'fundcode_meta_boxes_setup' );

function fundcode_meta_boxes_setup() {
  add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'fundcode_add_meta_boxes' );
}

and just use

add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'fundcode_add_meta_boxes' );
