      Hi. I’ve recently made a plugin using piklist to register a custom post type and added some metaboxes to it. The problem is that each field in metabox appears many times and when I try to save a value it’s showing on the other fields too. Apart from that it only saves as draft and cannot be published. I’ve attached some screenshots.

      @vagelis– Happy to help. Can you post your field code here so we can take a look? Or email the plugin to [email protected]

      Thank you for the quick reply and sorry for not posting these before.

      This is my post type snippet:

      function boats_post_types($post_types) {

$post_types['boats'] = array(
      'labels' 			=> piklist('post_type_labels', 'Boats')
      ,'title' 			=> __('Add a new Boat')

      ,'supports' 		=> array(
        'title',
        'revisions',
      )
      ,'public' 		=> true

      ,'taxonomies'		=> array('category')

      ,'has_archive'	=> true
      ,'rewrite' 		=> array(
        'slug' 			=> 'boat'
      )
      ,'edit_columns' 	=> array(
        'title' 		=> __('Boat')
		,'post_states' 	=> __('Status')
      )
      ,'hide_meta_box' 	=> array(
        'slug'
        ,'author'
      )
      ,'post_states' 	=> true
      ,'status' 		=> array(
        'draft' 		=> array(
          'label' 		=> 'Inactive',
          'public' 	=> true
        ),
        'active' 		=> array(
          'label' 		=> 'Active',
          'public' 	=> true
        ),
        'published'   => array(
          'label'     => 'Published',
          'public'    => true
        )
      )
    );

    return $post_types;
}

add_filter('piklist_post_types', 'boats_post_types');

function boats_rewrite_flush() {

    // codex_boats_init();

    boats_post_types();

    flush_rewrite_rules();
}

register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'boats_rewrite_flush' );

      and my metabox snippet:

      <?php
/*
Title: Test
Description: Test metabox
Post Type: boats
Context: normal
Priority: high
Locked: false
Collapse: true
*/

piklist('field', array(
 'type' => 'text'
 ,'field' => 'field_name'
 ,'label' => 'Sellers Name'
 ,'description' => 'Put sellers name here.'
 ,'attributes' => array(
   'class' => 'text'
 )
 ));

piklist('field', array(
 'type' => 'text'
 ,'field' => 'field_name'
 ,'label' => 'Phone'
 ,'description' => 'Put sellers phone here.'
 ,'attributes' => array(
   'class' => 'text'
 )
 ));

piklist('field', array(
 'type' => 'text'
 ,'field' => 'field_name'
 ,'label' => 'Mobile phone'
 ,'description' => 'Put sellers mobile phone here.'
 ,'attributes' => array(
   'class' => 'text'
 )
 ));

piklist('field', array(
 'type' => 'text'
 ,'field' => 'field_name'
 ,'label' => 'Email'
 ,'description' => 'Put sellers email here.'
 ,'attributes' => array(
   'class' => 'text'
 )
 ));

piklist('field', array(
 'type' => 'text'
 ,'field' => 'field_name'
 ,'label' => 'Address'
 ,'description' => 'Put sellers address here.'
 ,'attributes' => array(
   'class' => 'text'
 )
 ));

piklist('field', array(
 'type' => 'text'
 ,'field' => 'field_name'
 ,'label' => 'Boat name'
 ,'description' => "Put boat's name here."
 ,'attributes' => array(
   'class' => 'text'
 )
 ));

      Each field name needs to be unique. This is not a Piklist “thing”, but standard on HTML forms… you can’t have more than one field with the same name.

      Make sure all of these are unique, and the form should work perfectly:
      ,'field' => 'field_name'

      So they should be something like:
      ,'field' => 'vagelis_sellers_name'
      ,'field' => 'vagelis_phone'
      ,'field' => 'vagelis_mobile_phone'

      It’s always a good idea to prepend your field names with some unique so you don’t conflict with other plugins.

      Thanx you Steve! Rookie mistake. It’s working now. And thank you for your advice. I’ll surely follow it. Another thing happening, is that instead of ‘Publish’ on the right, it says ‘Save’ and after pressing it the post gets published as Draft. How can I change that to show publish(as any other post type) and get publish status instead of draft?

      If you use custom post statuses, then it will say “save”, since you may not be “publishing”.

      Do you need this?

      ,'status' 		=> array(
        'draft' 		=> array(
          'label' 		=> 'Inactive',
          'public' 	=> true
        ),
        'active' 		=> array(
          'label' 		=> 'Active',
          'public' 	=> true
        ),
        'published'   => array(
          'label'     => 'Published',
          'public'    => true
        )
      )

      Not really, Just used it cause I thought it was essential for the metabox to work, following the documentation. I’ve removed it and all is well! Thanx again Steve for your help!
