So I’m having an issue with my custom fields in my custom post type. For whatever reason the fields save and then clear somewhat randomly… I’m sure it’s not random but I’m not sure what’s triggering this to happen. Here’s the code for my custom post type:
// Custom Post Type: Strategic Giving
add_action('init', 'giving_register');
function giving_register() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x('Invest Items', 'post type general name'),
'singular_name' => _x('Item', 'post type singular name'),
'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'giving item'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add New Item'),
'edit_item' => __('Edit Item'),
'new_item' => __('New Item'),
'view_item' => __('View Item'),
'search_items' => __('Search Items'),
'not_found' => __('Nothing found'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('Nothing found in Trash'),
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'menu_icon' => get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/cpt-giving.png',
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'giving_items' ),
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => true,
'menu_position' => null,
'supports' => array('title','thumbnail','editor'),
'paged' => false,
);
register_post_type( 'givings' , $args );
}
register_post_type( 'givings' , $args );
add_action("admin_init", "giving_admin_init");
function giving_admin_init(){
add_meta_box("giving_info-meta", "Item Options", "giving_info", "givings", "side", "high");
}
function giving_info(){
global $post;
$custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
$amount = $custom["amount"][0];
$monthly = $custom["monthly"][0];
$user_entered_value = $custom["user_entered_value"][0];
$item_name = $custom["item_name"][0];
$special = $custom["special"][0];
?>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>
<label for="amount"><strong>Amount:</strong></label>
<input style="width: 180px" type="text" name="amount" id="amount" value="<?php echo $amount; ?>" />
<em>Example: 30.00</em>
</p>
<p>
<label for="monthly"><strong>Monthly?</strong></label>
<?php if ($monthly == 'on') { ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="monthly" id="monthly" checked="checked" />
<?php } else { ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="monthly" id="monthly" />
<?php } ?>
</p>
<p>
<label for="special"><strong>Special Item?</strong></label>
<?php if ($special == 'on') { ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="special" id="special" checked="checked" />
<?php } else { ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="special" id="special" />
<?php } ?>
</p>
<p>
<label for="user_entered_value"><strong>Allow Giver To Enter Custom Value?</strong></label>
<?php if ($user_entered_value == 'on') { ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="user_entered_value" id="user_entered_value" checked="checked" />
<?php } else { ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="user_entered_value" id="user_entered_value" />
<?php } ?>
</p>
<p>
<label for="item_name"><strong>Item Name:</strong></label>
<input style="width: 180px" type="text" name="item_name" id="item_name" value="<?php echo $item_name; ?>" /><br />
If item is a <em>per item</em> then enter the name of the singular item. <em>Example: Chair - which will be displayed as "30.00 per Chair"</em>
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
Strategic Giving photo must be horizontal and uploaded/set as the <strong>Featured Image</strong> (see below).
<em>Do not add photo to content area.</em>

function giving_item_name(){

return $custom["item_name"][0];
}
Update: So I did more research and figured it out. Autosave (aka Revisions) – Post metadata deletes itself
Is it possible to turn off autosave for just a single post type and not globally?
3 s
That’s an easy one 🙂
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'my_admin_enqueue_scripts' );
function my_admin_enqueue_scripts() {
if ( 'your_post_type' == get_post_type() )
wp_dequeue_script( 'autosave' );
}
