    You save the editor content just as you would save any other textarea content, using the name passed in settings as the $_POST key. Note that editor ids and names must only be lowercase letters, no underscores or hyphens are permitted.

    Hi Bcworkz, Thankyou for your replay.

    
function product_meta_options(){
global $post;
$extra = $custom["extra"][0];


    
<?php wp_editor( $content, 'extra', $settings = array('textarea_name'=>'extra','textarea_rows'=>20) );?>


    
function save_points(){
global $post;
update_post_meta($post->ID, "extra", $_POST["extra"]);

    data not saving and normally editor content caliing as the_content(); or the_excerpt();. Here, how can i print the content?.

    It depends on your theme and where you want the content to appear. You need to identify the correct theme template file that is outputting content where you want the custom field values to appear. It must also be inside “The Loop” which typically is formed with this code:

    <?php /* Outside the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php /* Inside the loop */ ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php /* Outside the Loop again*/ ?>

    Other than that, just place the code you have where you want it to appear in the “flow” of the content.
