add_meta_boxes WordPress Action Hook
The add_meta_boxes hook allows you to add custom fields to the post editor screen. This can be used to add extra data to posts, or to create custom fields for specific posts.
do_action( 'add_meta_boxes', string $post_type , WP_Post $post ) #
Fires after all built-in meta boxes have been added.
Parameters
- $post_type
(string)Post type.
- $post
(WP_Post)Post object.
More Information
The hook allows meta box registration for any post type.
Passes two parameters: $post_type and $post.
Note: You can also use add_meta_boxes_{post_type} for best practice, so your hook will only run when editing a specific post type. This will only receive 1 parameter – $post.
