I have a meta box I need to show up for both a custom post type (that doesn't use page templates) and a few pages (that do use page templates). Since the custom post type doesn't use page templates, it seems to be hiding the meta box for those. How do I configure this to work? Here is my current configuration:
```
$meta_boxes[] = array(
  'id' => '...',
  'title' => '...',
  'post_types' => array( 'page', 'solution' ),
  'show' => array(
    'template' => array(
      'page-templates/about-page.php',
      'page-templates/outcomes-page.php',
    ),
  ),
  'fields' => array(
    ...
  )
);
```
Thanks!

Hi, I think you need to separate them into 2 meta boxes. In this situation, the logic is applied to only 1 CPT. It's better to separate them.

You can put fields into a parameter to save your code, like this:
```
$fields = array(); // Your fields for both meta boxes here
$meta_boxes[] = array(
    'id' => 'first-id',
    'post_types' => 'page',
    'show' => array(),
    'fields' => $fields,
);
$meta_boxes[] = array(
    'id' => 'another-id',
    'post_types' => 'solution',
    'fields' => $fields,
);
```
