keesiemeijer, You sir, are a legend!!! Thank you so very much, it works like a charm now.

I would like to know what the problem was, theoretically, for example, was there an issue in my save post function??

😀

Hey keesiemeijer, thanks again.

I tried echoing that, but all it displays is:

pp_is_feat_meta =

Which means, there is nothing in get_option(‘pp_is_feat_meta’); which is why the problem is i suppose.

I also tried manually adding checked=”checked” within the input, like so:

echo "<input type='checkbox' name='pp_is_feat_meta' id='pp_is_feat_meta' value='1'
checked='checked' />";

And here, the check-box remains checked, which means the only issue is to find out how to get the check-box state (in our case we are using get_option(‘pp_is_feat_meta’);, which doesn’t seem to work)

As for saving the form options:

add_action('save_post',function($post_id){
global $post;
if(defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return;
if($_POST && wp_verify_nonce($_POST['pp_nonce'], __FILE__)) {
	if(isset($_POST['pp_is_feat_meta'])){
		update_post_meta($post->ID, 'pp_is_feat_meta', $_POST['pp_is_feat_meta']);
	}
}

this one here, saves it on update.

<input type="checkbox" name="pp_is_feat_meta" id="pp_is_feat_meta" value="1" <?php checked( 'pp_is_feat_meta' , 1 ); ?> />

so, is the above statement alright?

well, tried reading it, but couldn’t figure out. Please help.

@alchymyth, Thanks for your help, i tried that code.

The only thing is, with that code it won’t add the
<li> to the first post, so i modified it to this:

<?php $postCount = 1; ?>
<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); $postCount++; ?>
<?php if( $wp_query->current_post%3 == 0 || $postCount == 1) echo "\n".'<li>';
$item_nr = ($wp_query->current_post%3+1);	?>
/*all the code here*/
<?php if( $wp_query->current_post%3 == 2 || $wp_query->current_post == $wp_query->post_count-1 ) echo '</li>'; endwhile; endif; ?>
</ul>

But, now it doesn’t display anything at all. in short, this code doesn’t work.
