dkiI encounter a weird bug with my custom meta boxes.
Every other custom-field (using more-fields and more-types plugins) below my meta-box are empty when editing a page.
Ive checked everything and it seems that metadata isnt gone, everything still shows up correctly in front-end as well in DB, but in backend it seems that my meta-box is disrupting loading of everything else.
I have 9 custom fields in 4 containers when i drag-n-drop my metabox into first position, all other boxes below are empty while editing and if update button is hitted, well data is lost.
can ANYONE see what am i missing out in my code ?
quick idea is that i use custom post type where i have entire crew-team. but for each other custom post type i need to add someone in the crew as contact-person. but this contact dropdown screws everything else up :(
OK - Here is my metabox at the end and all works
Error - Here is my metabox above some other boxes and those end up empty
