      Hi,
      I have a metabox with the attribute New: true.
      What I want is to show this on the add-new page and hide it once saved on the edit page.
      The case is that the metabox appears on the edit page and not on the add-new page, even when I set the attribute to false.
      What am I doing wrong?

      @irene– Welcome to the Piklist community!

      When you press “Add New Post”, WordPress sets the Post Status to auto-draft. So just use the status parameter to tell Piklist you only want to show the meta box when the post status is auto-draft.

      Add this to your comment block:

      Status: auto-draft

      No need to use the new attribute. new is really used to NOT show a metabox on the new page: New: false.

      Let us know if you need anything else.
