@danieltj – the advice to “just remove it” isn’t really feasible if you are joining a WordPress blog that where those plugins are deemed important enough to keep in spite of their bad behavior with notices. Honestly, I can’t think of an instance where one plugin has something so important to report that is should spew on another plugin’s backend pages.
@krysia81 – feel free to elaborate.
Thanks, scribu. I’m not really sure what I had done wrong but when I reloaded the site today the metabox is working. Sorry to take up your time.
Looking great so far. Thanks!
