   I have a few custom posts types, and with them some custom meta-boxes.
   Everything works fine but suddenly the value of the post-type goes blank, I don't really understand whats happening or why, but the fact is that works fine for a couple of minutes and then, goes blank. Im going crazy :S

   Have you tried:

   - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

   I also had this problem, and found that it's a conflict with the wordpress autosave feature, who ignores the content in the meta boxes.

   I don't know what your save function looks like, but this is what works for me.

   function update_website_url(){
   global $post;
   if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) {
   return $post->ID;
   } else {
   update_post_meta($post->ID, “website_url”, $_POST["website_url"]);
   }
   }

   I followed the tutorial below to learn about meta boxes, and I ended up with the same problem as you, but in the comments of the post, a guy named John Sparrow has come up with the solution.

   Check it out!
