    copied!<p>The code below is working nearly flawlessly, however my value for page title on one of my pages keeps coming up empty after a few page refreshes... It sticks for awhile, then it appears to reset to empty. I'm thinking I must have a conflict in the code below, but I can't quite figure it.</p> <p>I'm allowing the user to set a custom page title for posts as well as pages via a custom "post/page title input field). Can anyone see an obvious issue here that might be resetting the page title to blank?</p> <pre><code>// =================== // = POST OPTION BOX = // =================== add_action('admin_menu', 'my_post_options_box'); function my_post_options_box() { if ( function_exists('add_meta_box') ) { //add_meta_box( $id, $title, $callback, $page, $context, $priority ); add_meta_box('post_header', 'Custom Post Header Code (optional)', 'custom_post_images', 'post', 'normal', 'low'); add_meta_box('post_title', 'Custom Post Title', 'custom_post_title', 'post', 'normal', 'high'); add_meta_box('post_title_page', 'Custom Post Title', 'custom_post_title', 'page', 'normal', 'high'); add_meta_box('postexcerpt', __('Excerpt'), 'post_excerpt_meta_box', 'page', 'normal', 'core'); add_meta_box('categorydiv', __('Page Options'), 'post_categories_meta_box', 'page', 'side', 'core'); } } //Adds the custom images box function custom_post_images() { global $post; ?&gt; &lt;div class="inside"&gt; &lt;textarea style="height:70px; width:100%;margin-left:-5px;" name="customHeader" id="customHeader"&gt;&lt;?php echo get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, 'customHeader', true); ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;p&gt;Enter your custom html code here for the post page header/image area. Whatever you enter here will override the default post header or image listing &lt;b&gt;for this post only&lt;/b&gt;. You can enter image references like so &amp;lt;img src='wp-content/uploads/product1.jpg' /&amp;gt;. To show default images, just leave this field empty&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php } //Adds the custom post title box function custom_post_title() { global $post; ?&gt; &lt;div class="inside"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;input style="height:25px;width:100%;margin-left:-10px;" type="text" name="customTitle" id="customTitle" value="&lt;?php echo get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, 'customTitle', true); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Enter your custom post/page title here and it will be used for the html &amp;lt;title&amp;gt; for this post page and the Google link text used for this page.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php } add_action('save_post', 'custom_add_save'); function custom_add_save($postID){ if (!defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') &amp;&amp; !DOING_AUTOSAVE) { return $postID; } else { // called after a post or page is saved and not on autosave if($parent_id = wp_is_post_revision($postID)) { $postID = $parent_id; } if ($_POST['customHeader']) { update_custom_meta($postID, $_POST['customHeader'], 'customHeader'); } else { update_custom_meta($postID, '', 'customHeader'); } if ($_POST['customTitle']) { update_custom_meta($postID, $_POST['customTitle'], 'customTitle'); } else { update_custom_meta($postID, '', 'customTitle'); } } } function update_custom_meta($postID, $newvalue, $field_name) { // To create new meta if(!get_post_meta($postID, $field_name)){ add_post_meta($postID, $field_name, $newvalue); }else{ // or to update existing meta update_post_meta($postID, $field_name, $newvalue); } } ?&gt; </code></pre>
