See updated answer. Also get_post_meta($postid,'_my_meta',TRUE); doesn't return an array. get_post_meta($postid,'_my_meta',FALSE); does, but not the one you're thinking.

Is not showing up on refresh and that's why I've assumed that and then, after Stephen's help I've realised the data doesn't get saved.. then, I get the values in meta.php directly: <input type="text" name="_my_meta[title]" value="<?php if(!empty($meta['title'])) echo $meta['title']; ?>"/>, do I have to define $meta in meta.php?

| Feb 24, 2012 at 11:06 | comment | added | Christopher | Yes @StephenHarris, it doesn't cause issues as it loads, otherwise my php file wouldn't show up in the admin section, right? As for the error, this is the first time I am using wp_die() and wp_die('message') will show me "message" as expected. This line instead: wp_die( '<pre>' . var_export( $post, true ) . '</pre>' ); will show me NULL, if placed before function or in the beggining, but after return, it shows nothing. | |

Could you try to see why the meta is not saving. I.e. in your checks in my_meta_save, on failure, die with some message: wp_die('Reason for failure') to determine which check you are failing on. Also, you should check its not an auto-save routine.

Probably not causing the issue but in anycase you should really use get_template_directory(); to get the Parent theme's directory (and get_stylesheet_directory() if you are after the child theme directory). See Codex.
