# overwrite function (meta_form)

 * I want to make a theme where I overwrite the admin “Custom Fields” area with 
   some HTML/PHP tweaks.
 * So on the functions.php page I define a new function, and I want to overwrite
   the function “meta_form” in includes/template.php
 * What am I doing wrong?
 *     ```
       function new_meta_form() {
       echo "new content";
       }
   
       add_filter('meta_form', 'new_meta_form', 1, 2);
       ```
