 * Hello, I got the below error when updating to the latest plugin version, how 
   should I handle it. Here is the full error display: _field_input is deprecated
   since version 4.0.0! Use render_class->field_input( $field, $value ) instead.
   
   Thank you

 * It’s more a warning than an error. There are no calls in the Redux plugin (as
   of 4.3.10) that use that deprecated function. Please look in your errors logs
   to determine the name of the file and the line number and paste those back.

 * i need to create a new extension, i put my_extension template folder from below
   source [https://github.com/reduxframework/redux-framework/tree/master/sample/extension/my_extension](https://github.com/reduxframework/redux-framework/tree/master/sample/extension/my_extension)
   into my theme. And then I put the following code in the theme function file: 
   Redux::load_extensions( ‘OPT_NAME’, ‘RELATIVE_PATH_TO_DIRECTORY’ );
    It’s not
   working, can you tell me where is my doing wrong? where and how do i put these
   metabox snippets to make them work [https://github.com/reduxframework/redux-framework/blob/master/sample/metaboxes.php](https://github.com/reduxframework/redux-framework/blob/master/sample/metaboxes.php)

 * I’m not understanding how a custom extension you want to write involved the metabox
   samples. They cannot be combined. I’m not sure how they are related.
 * > _And then I put the following code in the theme function file: Redux::load\
   _extensions( ‘OPT\_NAME’, ‘RELATIVE\_PATH\_TO\_DIRECTORY’ ); _
 * You have to replace the parameters with YOUR actual $opt_name variables and the
   relative path. Writing a theme, much less a custom extension for Redux requires
   more than a basic understanding of PHP, JavaScript, and CSS

 * my main purpose for this topic is to create a metaboxes for settings for page,
   post,… Do you give us the documentation, in which there is only a sample code,
   I followed the instructions but it doesn’t work motion. Can you explain the problem
   more clearly?

 * I’m not sure how to make it clearer than the docs page short of writing for you,
   which the scope of support we offer does not cover. If you load up the Redux 
   demo panel, you’ll see how Metaboxes works on pages and posts.
 * In the admin panel, click Settings > Redux and click “Enable Demo Panel”
 * Also, Redux is not a metabox only plugin. You also need to have a global options
   panel.
 * Lastly, metaboxes is now included with Redux. It is no longer an extension. Therefore,
   you do not need to use the `Redux::load_extensions` API. That is only required
   if you are writing your own extensions.

 * You are showing me how to create a generic theme options. Yes I had it. As I 
   mentioned above I need to create setting options for post or page only

 * As I said, Redux is not a tool to create ONLY metaboxes. If you have no global
   options panel, you won’t be able to use Redux for just meta boxes.

 * Use the sample file provided and change them as you need.
