 * Hi!
    I already asked this in another forum and googeled it, but I didn’t find
   any answer: I need a cutsom post type. That’s easy. But in the “Edit Post” section,
   I want 3 or more article input fields instead of only one. The articles should
   be divided into <div>-tags. All the div-tags should have one css class in common(
   for example class=”article”). The other classes should able to be assigned specifically,
   that means i’d like to have a little box beneath each of the article input fields,
   in which I can select different classes for each of the fields. I need an elegant
   solution, as I may use it for customers. I really need your help as it is very
   important to me. Thanks in advance, equorne

 * Are you taking about adding fields on the page that you publish posts, in the
   admin panel?

 * I am talking about this one. I want 3 article input fields instead of only one
   and the other stuff described above.

 * Hmm… OK. I would help code it for you, but it seems that someone already solved
   it: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-an-extra-text-input-field-on-admin-post-page?replies=24/](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-an-extra-text-input-field-on-admin-post-page?replies=24/).
   Or if you don’t want to edit a theme, I bet there is a file in the core WordPress
   directory that controls that type of stuff. Hope that helps!

 * Thanks, I think that’ll help 🙂 And how can I do the thing with the custom classes?
   By adding extra post meta data?

 * Oh, and I think I’m going to put it into my themes, as I would always have to
   modify the core after wp updates 😉

 * I tried it out. What I figured out is that I still need a heading input field
   for all of the metaboxes. And having that WYSIWYG-editor from the big article
   input box also for the small boxes would be nice… And of course the stuff with
   the classes.

 * What do you mean by “heading input field for all of the metaboxes”? Also, as 
   far as a WYSIWYG editor, you may want to take a look at this prevoius forum thread:
   [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/tinymce-for-blog-post-title?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/tinymce-for-blog-post-title?replies=3).
   As for custom classes, by this is think you mean making your own functions, such
   as add_new_input(). This is easy to do via the _functions.php_ file, but it’s
   up to you to make the custom code. Again remember, adding more inputs for the
   post page is usually a native WordPress feature, not part of a theme.

 * Thanks 😉
    As I described, I did all this on a custom post type. I deleted the
   support for the editor, so there’s only the title left. I added a custom input
   box, but I think for further boxes I will try out a modification af Advanced 
   Custom fields
