I’ve managed to get the categorydiv added to the Page, and even save the values set there. But curiously, the categorydiv is set do display: none for some reason. I am using a blank wordpress theme, may have something to do with it?

Thanks in advance.

Reason why I need this: I want my word-press post be in specific category like Country – State – City. But my list is toooooo big so it causes the loading time so higher.

I want to modify this category section like.

On the new post it only shows the country list when I click on the country then it loads the states for that parent country. And when I clicked on the state then it loads the city list.

I search for the plugin which suits my requirement but I fail If you know any plugin which help me then please recommend me.

Or give me some suggestion how I make this king of plugin from start.

Thanks guys,
Love WordPress.

In reply to Paul Kaiser.

Hello Paul,
Do you mean you have added your own plugin page to the Settings menu? Or are you trying to expand an existing Settings page?

I usually just add my own options page. In that case, I just set my form action to “”, and do the $_POST argument extraction and saving at the beginning of the page.

What a great post.
I’m trying to put a Category selection list in my plugin’s options page.
I have succeeded in getting the list there, but now I need to:
a. Check the boxes of any categories that have been checked and saved for my options.
b. Get the boxes that have been checked so I can save them.

You explained well in step 6: Getting your meta box values. But, I am using the Settings API, and don’t see anywhere that I can “intervene” and munge out those settings to have the SAPI save away.

I hope this makes sense. Anyway, great stuff on your site, I appreciate it.

In reply to Separatista. You can style it in CSS (#submitdiv). Just add the CSS to the 'admin_head' hook.

Hi, great tutorial! I have only one question – is it possible to modify default “Publish” metabox for custom posts type? This metabox can not be hidden, but I would like to change buttons text, some styling and remove visibility option. I tried to find solution, but with no success… Thank you very much for your help…
