• I’m having trouble with my “custom meta box/write panel” script that contains radio buttons. (see below)…It currently does not seem to save the selection made after publishing the custom post type, not sure what Ive missed???

    How I plan to utilize this essentially is by letting the client choose one of the radio button choices, and depending on what selection is made I will output that as a class into an anchor tag to help instantiate a specific image overlay.

    Thank you for your help!

    <?php
    add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'musicreleases_linktype_meta_box_add' );
    function musicreleases_linktype_meta_box_add()
    {
        add_meta_box( 'musicreleases_linktype_meta_id', 'Link Type (Optional)', 'musicreleases_linktype_meta_box_cb', 'eprmusicrelease', 'normal', 'low' );
    }
    
    function musicreleases_linktype_meta_box_cb( $post )
    {
        $values = get_post_custom( $post->ID );
        $radio = isset( $values['meta_box_musicreleases_linktype'] ) ? esc_attr( $values['meta_box_musicreleases_linktype'][0] ) : '';
        wp_nonce_field( 'my_meta_box_nonce', 'meta_box_nonce' );
        ?>
        <p>
            <input type="radio" name="linktype" value="free" <?php echo ($radio); ?>/> Free<br />
            <input type="radio" name="linktype" value="itunes" <?php echo ($radio); ?>/> iTunes<br />

            update_post_meta( $post_id, 'meta_box_musicreleases_linktype', wp_kses( $_POST['meta_box_musicreleases_linktype'], $allowed ) );
    }
    ?>
