# [Plugin: Category Meta plugin] 3.0 Problem resolved

 * The reason it wasn’t working was a typo and the use of a $category global in 
   the edit post UI which has no value.
 * TYPO:
    wp-category-meta.php, line 461: Missing $ before metaList var
 * MISSING GLOBAL:
    wp-category-meta.php, line ca. 442 function wptm_add_meta_textinput():
   Replace “global $category” with “$category_id = (int) $_GET[‘tag_ID’];” and comment
   out all the following lines that puts $category into $category_id.
 * It then works. However the meta input field is displayed 2 times on the edit 
   post page. Only changes in the lower field will work.
 * For me it’s no beauty contest, so I don’t have time to fix this duplicate field
   problem right now. It seems to work if only the lower field is used.
 * Hope that plugin creator or others can use these tips! 🙂
