Hi We've been using the plugin for a few years now so a lot of our code uses the old way of handling Taxonomy
$tax_list = rwmb_meta( '', 'type=taxonomy&taxonomy=stuff' );
Been trying to convert the code to see if it fixes a 'property of non-object' problem that has appeared since upgrading to the latest version of metabox.
We are finding that if we use the new simple format:
$tax_list = rwmb_meta( 'stuff' );
nothing is being returned if we try to use it or even print out the array.

Hi Matt,

The problem is previously you might use this code to register meta boxes:

add_action( 'admin_init', 'prefix_register' );
function prefix_register() {
    // Some code here
}

Or something like this:

if ( is_admin() ) {
    add_action( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'prefix_register' );
    function prefix_register( $meta_boxes ) {
        // Some code here
    }
}

It's required to switch to simpler syntax like this:

add_action( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'prefix_register' );
function prefix_register( $meta_boxes ) {
    // Some code here
}

in order to make the rwmb_meta work.

Thanks for your reply.

I changed:

add_action( 'init', 'course_register_meta_boxes' );
function course_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ){
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'course_register_meta_boxes' );

to:

add_action( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'course_register_meta_boxes' );
function course_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ){
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'course_register_meta_boxes' );

and converted the calls to the new style, but still not outputting anything.
Anything else I need to check?

Looks like your code is duplicated somehow, please try:

add_action( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'course_register_meta_boxes' );
function course_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ){
    $meta_boxes[] = ...
    return $meta_boxes;
}

Also, please check if that code is loaded before init hook.
