Is it possible to do this though per single field? I need this to apply to one field, and not the whole metabox

Just a quick update:

The “Parent” dropdown in Page Attributes is showing up now – I had to add more pages to that custom post type (I misunderstood how it works – I thought you could add a parent from any custom post type).

I also made an error with this part: 'post_type' => 'establishment_type', it should just be 'post_type' => 'establishment'. All is working correctly now. Thanks so much for the help, it’s all making a lot more sense now!

EDIT: Oh gees…there’s the problem:

'choices' => piklist_demo_get_states()

in line 86. My bad! Thanks so much for the help:)

This is the error that comes up:

Ah ok! 🙂 I see it’s showing up now in the sidebar – yesss!! What is the difference though with that, and then adding them as I did in the previous post (piklist(‘field’, array(‘type’ => ‘select’…)? I see if I add a duplicate taxonomy to the taxonomy field in the right sidebar, it doesn’t reflect in the taxonomy selection in the Piklist main section – although I’d think they’d be the same thing?…I’ll add a picture to explain what I mean:

Sorry if that’s a silly question, just trying to understand how this all fits together.

I don’t know what’s greater: the speed at which you replied or my embarrassment for such a silly mistake ha ha…

Thanks for that, however the issue still persists after correction:

add_filter('piklist_taxonomies', 'package_type_tax');
function package_type_tax($taxonomies) {

Not sure what else I’m doing wrong?

Hi there Steve,

Apologies for that, I posted the wrong code (while troubleshooting). The code I have is in fact ‘post’:

function my_custom_init()
{
    remove_post_type_support('post', 'custom-fields');
}
add_action('init', 'my_custom_init');

Unfortunately it’s still not working though.
