Instead of doing !strcmp($theme->slug, $names[0]->slug), you would need to check for the entire $names array with something like an in_array.

Thanks for the reply! Originally I posted with [code] and this is what I had..

if (!is_wp_error($names) && !empty($names) && !strcmp($theme->slug, $names[0]->slug)) 
			echo "slug . "' checked='yes'>" . $theme->name . "\n"; 
		else
			echo "slug . "' >" . $theme->name . "\n";

So, as stated, still only saves first option or onle of the selected.. Do I need to define an array before wp_set_object_terms() and if so, where?

For multiple selections the name should have square brackets.

Any ideas for using checkboxes? Have come up with:


echo "name . "' value='" . $theme->slug . "' checked='yes'>" . $theme->name . "\n"; 
else
echo "name . "' value='" . $theme->slug . "' >" . $theme->name . "\n";

However, will only save the first option if more then one is checked, or the checked option if only one.

If something is not saving, I usually just try to echo something out in the save_taxonomy_data function and then exit. For example -

print_r($_POST); exit;

This lets me know if I am hitting the save function, and what input values it is getting.

Great tutorial, I am working on a custom post type and I’ve created a custom metabox drop down for AM or PM but it won’t save my value. Can someone help me? I’m in a jam with my deadline looming. I can send my code.

Best,
James
