      Hello.. am I doing something wrong with the code below? The text field saves the data no problem, but the Editor Field will not save the data. Please help. Thank you in advance.

      <?php
/*
Title: Careers
Description: Description of Meta-Boxes for Careers
Post Type: careers
Priority: high
Locked: true
Order: 1
*/

piklist('field', array(
	'type' 		=> 'text'
	,'field' 	=> 'careers_accepting'
	,'label' 	=> 'Accepting Applications Yes/No'
    ,'columns' 		=> 10
    ,'attributes' 	=> array(
      'placeholder' => 'Accepting Applications / Not Accepting Applications At This Time'
    )
));

piklist('field', array(
	'type' 			=> 'editor'
	,'scope' 		=> 'post'
	,'field' 		=> 'careers_description'
	,'label' 		=> __('Career Description')
	,'description' 	=> __('Enter the desciption of the Career.')
	// ,'value' 		=> 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.'
	,'options' 		=> array (
		'wpautop' 			=> true
		,'media_buttons' 	=> false
		,'tabindex' 		=> ''
		,'editor_css' 		=> ''
		,'editor_class' 	=> ''
		,'teeny' 			=> false
		,'dfw' 				=> false
		,'tinymce' 			=> true
		,'quicktags' 		=> true
	)
));

      @liquidws– In most cases the “scope” of the field is the database table you are saving it to. You are setting the scope to “post”, which is the WordPress posts table… wp_posts. Which is fine, if you use any of the fields WordPress allows. Which in your case would probably be post_content or post_excerpt. But you are saving it to a custom field, careers_description, which is not allowed in wp_posts… but is allowed in wp_postmeta.

      Just remove the scope parameter and Piklist will figure it out and save it properly.
