      I have been working on my first plugin with Piklist. I’ve created a custom post type named ‘service’, along with a meta box named ‘test’ with additional fields. I’ve checked all headers and they seem correct. Folder structure seems also correct. Plugin works correctly btw. Please advise what I’m doing wrong. I’ve attached both post-type code and meta-box code.

      Plugin Code:

      <?php
/*
Plugin Name: Services
Description: Piklist Plugin for Services
Version: 0.1
Author: Vagelis Katsiotis
Author URI: https://gr.linkedin.com/in/vageliskatsiotis
Plugin Type: Piklist
License: GPL3
*/


function services_post_types($post_types) {

$post_types['services'] = array(
      'labels' 			=> piklist('post_type_labels', 'Services')
      ,'title' 			=> __('Add a new Service')

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

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

      ,'has_archive'	=> true
      ,'rewrite' 		=> array(
        'slug' 			=> 'service'
      )
      ,'edit_columns' 	=> array(
        'title' 		=> __('Service')
		,'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
        )
      )
    );

    return $post_types;
}

add_filter('piklist_post_types', 'services_post_types');

      Meta-Box Code:

      <?php
/*
Title: Test
Description: Test metabox
Post Type: service, post, page
Context: normal
Priority: high
Order: none
Locked: false
New: true
Status: all
Collapse: true
*/

piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'colorpicker'
	,'scope' => 'post_meta' // Not used for settings sections
	,'field' => 'field_name'
	,'label' => 'Example Field'
	,'description' => 'Click in box'
	,'attributes' => array(
	'class' => 'text'
	)
));

      @vagelis– You’re so close!

      A few issues with your parameters:
      1) Post Type: services, post, page: you had it set to service (singular), but your post type is plural.
      2) New: true: remove. You really only need if setting to false.
      3) Status: all: all is not a valid status. You would either have to type all the statuses here, or just remove this.
      4) Order: none: if you don’t want to set the order, then just leave this out.

      You comment block should look like this:

      /*
Title: Test
Description: Test metabox
Post Type: services, post, page
Context: normal
Priority: high
Locked: false
Collapse: true
*/

      Let us know if you have any other questions.
