Select Menu for Custom post Type does not save…

[asiek]

I posted a [discussion](https://css-tricks.com/forums/discussion/26306/wordpress-custom-fields-data-not-displaying-on-template#Item_6 “https://css-tricks.com/forums/discussion/26306/wordpress-custom-fields-data-not-displaying-on-template#Item_6”) the other day.
Explaining that my Videos were not displaying on my Video page from my custom post type that I created using [this tutorial.](http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creative-coding/youtube-and-vimeo-video-gallery-with-wordpress/ “http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creative-coding/youtube-and-vimeo-video-gallery-with-wordpress/”)
I thought I fixed the issue but it turns out the issue *wasn’t resolved.*

Anyway, so I thought maybe the way I setup my CPT/Fields were messing things up.
So I found another tutorial and redid the CPT and Fields, here is the new code//
[http://pastebin.com/E5t6fcmn](http://pastebin.com/E5t6fcmn “http://pastebin.com/E5t6fcmn”)

I was able to get my Video ID field to save, but when I select “Youtube” or “Vimeo”, then save, it just goes back to it’s default option “Select”.

I am new to all of this WordPress PHP so I have no idea if the select menu code is correct…
I’d appreciate any help to find the cause of this.

your problem might be this line

if( $post->post_type == ‘revision’ ) return; // Don’t store custom data twice

since you have already saved your post the second time is a revision so it just returns not updating the post meta.
try commenting the whole line and if it works either make sure with javascript that every field is required or remove it all together

@pixelgrid I commented out the line, but the Selected Value is still not saving :(

foreach ($videos_meta as $key => $value) { // Cycle through the $videos_meta array!

//if( $post->post_type == 'revision' ) return; // Don't store custom data twice

$value = implode(',', (array)$value); // If $value is an array, make it a CSV (unlikely)

if(get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, FALSE)) { // If the custom field already has a value

update_post_meta($post->ID, $key, $value);

} else { // If the custom field doesn't have a value

add_post_meta($post->ID, $key, $value);

}

if(!$value) delete_post_meta($post->ID, $key); // Delete if blank

}

@pixelgrid The funny thing is that I’m using the same type of select menu from my events Post type, and that saves perfectly…
But it just doesn’t want to work in my video’s post type :/
