   Hi,

   I have successfully created meta box for posts. But when I *export* the WordPress XML content via WP Dashboard - Tools - WordPress Importer, I found that the post meta box data can not be *imported* to anther site via via WP Dashboard - Tools - WordPress Importer. The meta box is just empty.

   Here is my code:

   //
   // Create a metabox
   //
   CSF::createMetabox( $prefix_post_opts, array(
   'title' => 'Post Options',
   'post_type' => 'post',
   'show_restore' => true,
   'priority' => 'high',
   'context' => 'normal'
   ) );

   Is there any solution?

   Thanks!

   Hi,

   Sorry, this topic delayed cause it will be a complex answer.

   Firstly, The metabox framework has two database save option. "serialize" "unserialize".

   // Serialize saves data like this:
   {a:2 :{s:11:"Hello world";s:7 :":Another"}}
   
   // Unserialize saves like this:
   meta_data_name = Hello world
   meta_data_name = AnotherCopyCopied!

   "I think you know this, but I need to tell for easy understand."

   In this case I see you using serialize method and "textarea" field new line is problem... I mean this:

   // If you put a new line textarea, the serialize doesn't count correct.
   {a:2 :{s:10 :"Hello
   world";s:7 :":Another"}}
   
   It says 10 but there are 11 chars.CopyCopied!

   That is why importing xml data.

   Ok now, what is the solution ways ?

   You can return back to unserialize type. ( but all current data will gone, and you will re-code for your single.php get_post_meta things )

   Fix it manually like this for eg go to xml file:

   // from
   a:4 :{s:14:"opt-video-code";s:266:"<iframe width="782" height="440" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k2qgadSvNyU?&autoplay=1" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
   ";s:12:"opt-duration";s:5 :"03:44";s:14:"opt-related-on";s:1 :"1";s:20:"opt-related-position";s:7 :"sidebar";}
   
   // to
   a:4 :{s:14:"opt-video-code";s:265:"<iframe width="782" height="440" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k2qgadSvNyU?&autoplay=1" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
   ";s:12:"opt-duration";s:5 :"03:44";s:14:"opt-related-on";s:1 :"1";s:20:"opt-related-position";s:7 :"sidebar";}CopyCopied!

   I only changed s:266 to s:265 you can try modified xml version and see it work.

   You head mix ?

   Actually, this is not a framework issue. It's global issue. ( https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/42360/with-wordpress-importer-why-cant-i-import-post-meta-containing-a-multi-dimensi )

   Let me say another solution:

   I think you don't need newline for opt-video-code textarea. Let's add a sanitize function for that textarea save.

   // add this to your utils.php or anywhere
   function wpenjoy_trim_newlines( $value ) {
     return str_replace( array( "\r", "\n" ), '', $value );
   }CopyCopied!

   // add sanitize function to option
   array(
     'id'       => 'opt-video-code',
     'type'     => 'textarea',
     'title'    => 'Video Code',
     'sanitize' => 'wpenjoy_trim_newlines',
   ),CopyCopied!

   And go to 70 posts and click to "update" button then export xml and try. it will take 10min.

   Regards, Codestar
