Meta box options on custom post type

[aerosum]

Hi,

First of all thanks a lot for the awesome theme. I really liked it and the kind of customization is possible of the theme is brilliant.

Now the support part. I have added a custom post type. I could enable the swift page builder on it from theme options.

But I also need to enable the page meta options which are available for regular posts. Can you please provide me a clue here. (as shown in screenshot).

I also use flexform theme and I could enable the same on flexform through a small one line code change. Can you please help me here.

Regards
Sumit

Hi,

So you want to enable the post or the page meta options in your new custom post type?

Hi,

I wanted the one for posts.

I got into my coder mode and found how to do it 🙂

Just for reference for the people reading this thread. I went to meta-boxes.php file in theme folder/include/

Looked for ‘posts’. There is an array line something like this
pages = array (‘posts’)

Wherever you find this kind of array add your custom post to it.

pages = array (‘posts’, ‘custom’)

Tada.. its magic 🙂

P.S. Thanks Rui for the follow up.

Can “meta-boxes.php” be moved into a child theme in order to preserve changes?

Depending on what you want to do you can override/remove/edit the options via a child theme without the need for file duplictation: https://metabox.io/docs/edit-remove-meta-boxes/#post-475
