    Hi guys,

    I’ve been trying all day yesterday trying to copy a template’s customposttype for an additional post type, so to speak. I managed to go as far as creating the menu in the admin ui by editing functions.php and customposttypes.php.

    I copied the coding structure exactly and also managed to have the meta boxes appear in the editor screen. Thus far I was pretty happy with the progress, since I am a completely hopeless with codes and totally new to WP.

    The only snag is, I’m not getting anything that is keyed into the meta_boxes to display in the post/draft. Zilch, nada. I’m confused because I’ve copied the coding line for line (I want the new post type to follow the layout of the original, at least for a start so i know it’s working), I figured it should at least output something.

    Not quite clear on where you are looking for the data to display. If it shows up on the Edit screen, but not when you view the post, edit a page of the working type and see if it uses a custom template.

    You might also take a look at the Custom Post Type UI plugin. It makes it a lot easier to add custom post types and taxonomies without any coding.
