friendlyfire3MemberTotal newb here.
I was attempting to create a plugin using piklist and following this: https://piklist.com/user-guide/tutorials/getting-started-with-piklist/
I’m using multisite so I create mypluginname
inside I created mypluginname.php with the usual wp content<?php /** * Plugin Name: My Plugin Name etc */I created all the subfolders per the tut
/plugin-folder
/parts
/admin-pages (Do not use for settings pages)
/dashboard
/help
/media
/meta-boxes
/notices
/pointers
/settings
/terms
/updates
/users
/widgets
/workflowsinside the meta-boxes folder, I created my-fields.php
inside the folder, I have:
<?php /* Title: My custom fields Post Type: post */I saved all files. Network activated the new plugin and then created a new post.
the tut says ” You should see an empty metabox with the title “My custom fields”.”
However, I don’t see anything on the new post page. I even checked the “screen options” to see if it was hiding up there.
Notta.
I am running latest wp and piklist. I did check the demos and they seemed to work so it’s obviously user error.
Help!
Thank you!

sharpieMemberI seem to be on page 1 too. This is probably very, very basic school boy stuff?
Have the plugin activated with min content.
In the user profile section, it now shows the following: The code that built this Workflow Tab can be found here:
wp-content/plugins/Event-Management/parts/workflows/user-general.php&
Editor
The code that built this Setting can be found here:
wp-content/themes/striking_r/piklist/parts/users/user-editor-advanced.phpSo how to I set it, so any tabs I create, the data and content are pulled from ‘myplugin’ and not the piklist element in the theme folders?
Thanks

sharpieMemberFound it, adding ours underneath, effecitively duplicating, which is fine for the moment, I can at least see it.
I would like to see some more ‘baby steps’ getting started instructions for those of us who aren’t coders, merely WP users.

sharpieMemberI’ll have to get back to you that when I better understand it. So I can say which bits I think are missing or needing changed.
Alternative is a step by step video, starting with installing through to creating a basic plugin, widget, page, form etc.

friendlyfire3MemberFor me, it was on this page: https://piklist.com/user-guide/tutorials/getting-started-with-piklist/
Where it said
“Folder Structure for your plugin
You can also create a Piklist plugin if you want… ”I had set up my plugin using the normal wordpress method. I had NO idea it had to be set up a special way per: https://piklist.com/user-guide/tutorials/writing-a-plugin-for-piklist/
A link to that article would be helpful. Maybe hyperlink the part that says” You can also create a Piklist plugin if you want.”

friendlyfire3MemberNo problem! I appreciate all the hard work you guys are putting into piklist. It’s already saved us a bunch of time.
I’d love to make your beta better too. Would love an invite! (hint hint)

SteveKeymaster@friendlyfire3– Hint received! You’re on the list and will receive the next beta when it’s ready.
If you want to help the project now, a 5-Star review on WordPress.org helps tremendously. (hint hint)
