Problem with taxonomy metaboxes

  • Hi,

    Thanks for this plugin.
    I’m trying to group custom (non-hierarchical) taxonomies (actor, director…) under a tab, (Cast) but I don’t succeed.
    The dropdown doesn’t get populated with my taxonomies, and entering the IDs of the metaboxes with or without # doesn’t help either.

    What am I missing?

    Thanks.

    Hi again,

    Selecting ACF fields populates the text boxes properly with the ids: acf-6, acf-9, but the metaboxes on the post edit screen continue to appear tabless.

    Thanks.

    Hi Elba00,

    I’m quite sure on what you’re asking. Ultimate Metabox tabs doesn’t function on Category/Taxonomy editing pages, only on post types.

    Provide a screenshot the scenario if you can.

    Cheers, Jake.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply.
    I tried to group metaboxes into tabs on custom post type edit screens, not taxonomy/category edit screens.

    While the plugin picked up my ACF field, the fields on the post edit screens continued to show just like before, without tabs. Entering non-ACF metabox IDs gave the same result.
    (latest WP, latest ACF plugin).

    While ACF offers a nice and easy way to group fields into tabs, I found that using ACF to show non-hierarchical taxonomies (tags) with select/radio-button/checkbox fields for the backend users is not as user friendly, as the regular WP tagcloud appearance.

    Since ACF loads the required CSS and JS on the post edit screen, I added a little JS and CSS to my functions.php and came up with this, which is fine for me:

    Thanks.
