 * I am learning WordPress Plugin Development. I have custom post type `News`. I
   am taking input using meta-boxes for this custom post.
 * I added metabox using below code.
 *     ```
       add_meta_box('news_settings', 'News Settings', [ $this, 'news_settings_html' ], 'News', 'normal', 'default');
       ```
   
 * My meta box code is like below.
 *     ```
       public function news_settings_html()
       {
           <?php
               <label for="location">
                   <?php _e('Location', 'textdomain');?>
               </label>            
               <input type="text" name="location"/>
           ?>
       }
       ```
   
 * How can I save this meta-boxes values ?

 * You can save the meta box values using the `save_post` action hook. Please refer
   these documentations:

 * add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘save_news_settings’ );
    function save_news_settings(
   $post_id ){ // You can get saved values in this way $saved_value = get_post_meta(
   $post_id, ‘news_settings’, true ); $value_from_meta_box = $_POST[‘news_settings’];
   update_post_meta($post_id, ‘news_settings’, $value_from_meta_box ); }
 * I hope this will help you!
