I have been successful in creating a simple custom post type (sponsor) and a few metaboxes to go with them. However, whenever I refresh the page, the locations I set for the metaboxes revert back to a position where everything except the “Publish” metabox is on the right column.

Functions.php call

add_filter('piklist_post_types', 'sponsor_post_type');
 function sponsor_post_type($post_types)
 {
  $post_types['sponsor'] = array(
    'labels' => piklist('post_type_labels', 'Sponsor')
    ,'title' => __('Enter Sponsor Name')
    ,'public' => true
    ,'rewrite' => array(
      'slug' => 'sponsor'
    )
    ,'supports' => array(
      'author'
      ,'revisions'
      ,'title'
      ,'editor'
      ,'excerpt'
    )
    ,'hide_meta_box' => array(
      'revisions'
      ,'comments'
      ,'commentstatus'
    )
  );
return $post_types;
}

Metaboxes

/*
Title: Social Specs
Post Type: sponsor
Locked: true
Collapse: false
*/
 
 
piklist('field', array( // FACEBOOK
    'type' => 'text'
    ,'field' => 'sponsor_fb'
    ,'label' => '<i class="fa fa-facebook-official"></i>Facebook Page ID'
    ,'description' => 'Click <a target="_blank" href="http://findmyfbid.com">here</a> to recover ID'
    ,'value' => 'Enter numbers only'
    ,'help' => 'Click on link to recover ID.'
    ,'attributes' => array(
      'class' => 'text'
    )
  ));

In addition, I tried using “Global Meta Box Order” to harmonize my views. It was successful in doing it on my regular posts and pages but not my sponsor CPT.

Any thoughts as to why?
