Now, I want insert a box where editors can find custom fileds. * I see this box on write panel for article, but i don’t see it on write panels for taxonomy. * I used Custom Field Template plugin, but dont’ work. * I have follow this howto [http://wefunction.com/2008/10/tutorial-creating-custom-write-panels-in-wordpress/](http://wefunction.com/2008/10/tutorial-creating-custom-write-panels-in-wordpress/), also this don’t work. * Suggestions? * PS: sorry for my english 🙂 Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * Thread Starter [Davide Tommasin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kinghack/) * (@kinghack) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-post-type-ui-add-custom-write-panel-dont-work/#post-1792277) * I find the solution 🙂 It’s simple. I have used this code for implement meta box: * ``` // add a meta box for each of the wordpress page types: posts and pages and other custom post type foreach (array('post','page', 'books', 'movies', 'products') as $type) { add_meta_box('my_all_meta', 'My custom box', 'my_meta_setup', $type, 'normal', 'high'); } ``` * [web00132](https://wordpress.org/support/users/web00132/) * (@web00132) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-post-type-ui-add-custom-write-panel-dont-work/#post-1792289) * Hi kinghack! I’ve got the exact same problem as you did! Where did you put that piece of code? I tried to put it straight into the functions.php file but that made the whole site crash.
