    hi

    I am using the cmb2 metaboxes not asa plugin but added to my functions.php file. I would like to display the meta boxes on pages that only use a specific page template.

    e.g. Form the edit screen I would select the page template(fullwidth.php)and the metaboxes would appear if I chose default layout there would be no meta boxes.

    I have tried editing object_type=>array(‘fullwidth.php’) but that doesnt work.

    any help?

    If you’re familiar with the original CMB class, the documentation and ways to handle all of that should be the same with CMB2. It’s not perfectly backwards compatible, but Justin did try his hardest to keep as much as he could compatible with the original.

    See the last example at https://github.com/WebDevStudios/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress/wiki/Display-Options to see if that helps get this figured out.

    Thanks Michael

    Wasn’t aware that this carried through to CMB2.

    Will have a look but sure it will be ok

    wrenmead, looking over the description tab, I do see where you were perhaps confused.

    “Change 3: The ‘pages’ metabox parameter has been changed to ‘object_types’ to more accurately reflect its purpose.”

    The “pages” part, changed to “object_types”, is related to post types and probably a bit for users as well.

    The “show_on” is still for specifying based on the template.
