php - How to use plugin add_meta_box similar using in wp-admin -

i creating form in front same using in wp-admin.

there meta boxes using .

i want konw how can use meta box in front page.

right using

do_action( 'do_meta_boxes', $post_type, 'normal', $post ); 

but it's not working $wp_meta_boxes; null in front end.

how call boxes in front end.

thanks in advance.

i think meta boxes meant administrative interface , corresponding actions fired in dashboard. instead suggest use normal form, in example below (use code in page template). note must sanitize data comming form before saving database!

<?php  // submit form if(isset($_post['submit_form'])){  // important: sanitize , validate post values here  // update post meta update_post_meta(get_the_id(), 'firstname', $_post['firstname']); update_post_meta(get_the_id(), 'lastname', $_post['lastname']);  }  ?>  <?php // post meta $firstname = get_post_meta(get_the_id(), 'firstname', true); $lastname = get_post_meta(get_the_id(), 'lastname', true); ?>  <form action="#" method="post">     first name:<br>     <input type="text" name="firstname" value="<?php echo esc_attr($firstname);?>">     <br>     last name:<br>     <input type="text" name="lastname" value="<?php echo esc_attr($lastname);?>">     <button type="submit" name="submit_form" value="1">submit</button> </form>
