    Please Help - latest update meta box problem
    • bghousebghouse
      I just updated to the latest version, and have a serious problem on my client's site with the metaboxes. They now are positioned above the standard publish box.

      previously, I went to line 558 of the acf.php and changed the priority to "core". This whole section seems to have been removed - and I can't find where to change this.

      I know the plugin defaults to "high", and I don't mind editing the core file to change this - I just need to find it.

      Please point me to the right file.

      After searching every file for "high", I finally found it in the core/controllers/input.php around line 192 we have this:
      $acf['options']['position'], 'high',


      I changed it to this:
      $acf['options']['position'], 'core',


      That will put the publish box back at the top on the right sideboxes.

      It would be great if the patch by sukimashita could be incorporated into this plugin. Looking up here, other people have the same issue with the metabox priority being set to high

      Hi bghouse,

      Can you post some info about the difference between "high" and "core".

      I thought that "high" wouldn't place it above the default boxes...

      Hello, just googled this same problem and found this thread..... some info I found on the order:

      default Below “Featured Image”
      high Above “Publish”
      low Below “Featured Image”
      core Below “Featured Image”

      Strange, I have never found this problem.

      So this happens for a field group assigned to the side?
    • adminadmin
      Wow, your right!
      Ha, I don't think I have ever used a side metabox before!

      I'll get that fixed int he next version

      @admin: Please note my patch to make this flexible...

      Thank you so much! I'm off to finally update the plugin and get the other fixes :-)
