      I found Piklist while looking for a way to display/select taxonomy terms as a checkbox group on the admin page for a CPT. Piklist is awesome and I managed to build the checkbox metabox I wanted.

      But since I already used “register_taxonomy()” in functions.php to create my taxonomy, I ended up with two metaboxes for it. Note a huge deal as I can just “display:none” the standard one.

      I don’t want to lose the “register_taxonomy()” function b/c I want the admin page for the taxonomy where I can CRUD the terms. When I just use Piklist to create the metabox, there appears to be no way to CRUD the taxonomy terms. I assume I can only hardcode them into the Piklist file.

      Am I missing something?

      @brinster Welcome to the Piklist community!

      You need to tell WordPress you don’t want to show the default meta box.

      Pass false to meta_box_cb. You can learn more here.

      Perfect!

      BTW, I recently struggled trying to fine tune the order of meta boxes on a CPT admin page. Is there anything Piklist can do to modify the order of meta boxes?
