This seems to work (somewhat).

First of all, I want to get it out of a foreach statement so I can Format each textbox in its own way (different widths, two on same line, etc.)

Secondly, I am trying to figure out how to make a second meta box for the next post type.

Third, I am trying to rewrite the permalink to reflect a textbox in my new metabox. In that post type, I got rid of the title field so I need to rewrite the permalink in order for each pots permalink to be unique.

Any help would be great and I will update y’all on anything I can figure out.

Thanks.
