    Hi,

    On of our customers wants to use your plugin. I’ve tried installing it, but i encounter the following error:

    Fatal error: Class 'CMB_Field' not found in /somepath/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpbroadbean/functions/admin/metaboxes.php on line 61

    After investigating the issue i found out our plugin (Maleo) is also using CMB. But doesn’t load all the files your plugin needs, i can’t drop this theme so is there an alternative solution?

    Thanks.

    This plugin checks whether there is a class that already exists named CMB_Meta_Box. If there is the CMB meta boxes code is not loaded as it should already be available probably being added by another plugin or theme.

    Therefore it must be that your plugin or theme has a loaded a class with the name CMB_Meta_Box which is different from the meta box framework being used here, which is this one:

    Thanks for you answer.

    I can take a look if the theme is updateble with your version.

    thanks

    If the theme is loading the same meta box framework as I linked to above, but not loading the entire framework then I think that is a problem with that theme. It would be better if the theme you mention loads the entire framework, or rename the class.

    Essentially what I am saying here is that I think this plugin does it the right way.
