Can I find more post windows?

  • Hi, I wonder if there is a way wp users can define the post Add New page. We normally insert title, content, category, tag into a table. Why there is no more extra insert windows? Is there any plugin or php can change this? I can add a column in Mysql table, insert/extract, but it seems too complex. Just on the Add New post page, add some backup windows (in mysql table some extra columns)to make things much easy. How do you think :-)? Thanks

  • You can easily add more items with add_meta_box(). Then you can save those values into either a custom column table or into the standard WordPress post meta system. I wouldn’t suggest using an extra column in the core tables as a custom column will be removed the next time that there’s any database updates for that table.

    Hi Catacaustic, nice to hear from you again. Thanks for your continuous support :-). I installed Meta Box plugin. It looks very cool. But the page I want to edit is not my post page but homepage (index.php). When I add a new post, I want to automatically generate a link on the homepage with excerpt. How to do that? Thank you!

    That’s a completely separate question!

    The way that I’d normally do that is using a “Latest News’ type of widget on your homepage that drags in the latest posts form which ever category/categories that you want to feature. Under normal cicrumstances that shouldn’t need any extra meta fields or boxes, just a new widget added in the right location in your theme.

    I inserted a link into Meta Box. It was required a password to update. Then I couldn’t open “Browser” in Myphpsql. How can I disable the “passwd” in Meta box? I believe the link was saved in DB. I couldn’t find it in the folders. Thanks.

    I honestly have no idea at all what you’re talking about, and that’s the third completely different thing that you’ve asked in this thread.

    For this latest one… it’s impossible to say without a lot more information. What meta box? Password for which system? What has MyPhpSql have to do with anything here? What folders?

    And the bigest question, how does any of that relate to your last two questions???

    I am sorry to make you confused :-). I installed Meta Box plugin. And followed the instruction here (https://metabox.io/docs/getting-started/) to get start. I actually just need one url link window :-). Question is: how can I put this url link into front-page? I can’t see it anywhere. Unfortunately I can’t attach some images here. Please just give me some ideas, or words, I will figure it out.

    I think I should reframe my question: how to put an external link into the front-page (homepage)?
