Update causes Meta tags to disappear

Hi Manny,

What do you mean by “Can you provide the code that sets up the meta box?”

The code in my OP is just one example of a number of separate templates that use the same code (but with different categories/tags) to display the custom fields (book_code, book_author, book_price) for each book.

The code for the functions.php file is as follows

rwmb_meta( $field_id, $args = array(), $post_id = null );

Grrr although I had replied to you about 5 minutes ago, it appears to have not posted.

So basically, here’s my template code. But I can’t think of anything else you would need, other than this template (which is one of many) and the one liner in the functions.php file, I haven’t needed to do anything else to make it work pre-update. The website is kentrotman.co.uk.

You can see from the code below, the custom fields are book_code, book_price, book_author and mycpt.

Oh I see, you want data input. Ok usually in book_code I’d have something like B002, book_price is 20.00 (e.g.) and book_author is something like FLEURMOND (M)

mycpt isn’t an issue, that’s just a “notes” bit.
