I have the following code used to create a Custom Post Type. All works the save function is being triggered, and it seems to be saving. But I cannot get the saved data to output in the text field on Page Edit. I've stared at this and played around with it for days now. Looked at every tutorial online. I can't figure out what I am missing here. Any help would be great appreciated.
I tried changing the 10,2 but doesn't help. I tried writing new code in the save function that you can see is commented out and this doesn't work either.
