I'm having an issue with one of my meta box. I want the meta box displayed only on the default page template editing page.php.

The meta box doesn't show up on the editing page.

add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'page_add_meta_boxes', 1);
function page_add_meta_boxes() {
  global $post;
  if(!empty($post)) {
    $pageTemplate = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true);
    if($pageTemplate == 'page.php') {
      add_meta_box( 'page-repeatable-fields', 'Index', 'page_repeatable_meta_box_display', 'page', 'normal', 'low');
    }
  }
}

Thank you.

EDIT

Code updated following the comments of @SallyCJ

add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'page_add_meta_boxes', 10, 2);
function page_add_meta_boxes($post_type, $post) {
  if(!empty($post)) {
   $pageTemplate = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true);
   if(in_array( $pageTemplate, array( 'default', 'page.php' ) ) ) {
     add_meta_box( 'page-repeatable-fields', 'Index', 'page_repeatable_meta_box_display', 'page', 'normal', 'low');
   }
 }
}

After checking with var_dump( $pageTemplate ); the result is:

"String(0) "" "

Note: If use a custom template page to display the metabox, it works.

• 1 PS: I hope my answer helps, and if you haven't, you should check the tutorial on creating meta block - see developer.wordpress/block-editor/how-to-guides/metabox - and consider creating meta block instead. :) – Sally CJ Commented Jul 17, 2021 at 14:30

Sorted by: Reset to default 2

If the "Default Template" option is selected from the Template dropdown, then WordPress will set the value of the _wp_page_template meta to default and not page.php, so that's most likely the reason why your meta box is not showing/added.

So I would use if ( in_array( $pageTemplate, array( 'default', 'page.php' ) ) ) instead of if ( $pageTemplate == 'page.php' ).

Additionally, I would also use the $post variable that's available as the second parameter for the meta box function:

add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'page_add_meta_boxes', 10, 2); // require the 2nd parameter
function page_add_meta_boxes($post_type, $post) { // and define it in the function head
    //global $post; // <- no need to do this

    // your code
}

Update

If the meta value is empty (''), then the template will be the default, e.g. page.php for the page post type.

So you could use if ( ! $pageTemplate || in_array( $pageTemplate, array( 'default', 'page.php' ) ) ) instead of the one I suggested above.

Or actually, you could use get_page_template_slug() which is much easier. :) Example based on your updated code:

function page_add_meta_boxes($post_type, $post) {
  $pageTemplate = get_page_template_slug( $post );
  if(! $pageTemplate || 'page.php' === $pageTemplate) {
   add_meta_box( 'page-repeatable-fields', 'Index', 'page_repeatable_meta_box_display', 'page', 'normal', 'low');
 }
}

try this code i guess it should work correctly

add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'page_add_meta_boxes');
function page_add_meta_boxes(){
    global $post;
    if(!empty($post)):
        $pageTemplate = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true);
        $pageTemplate = ($pageTemplate == "page.php" || empty($pageTemplate) || $pageTemplate == " " || $pageTemplate == "default" )?true:false;
        if($pageTemplate):
            add_meta_box(
                    'page-repeatable-fields',
                    'Index',
                    'page_repeatable_meta_box_display',
                    'page',
                    'normal',
                    'low'
                )
        endif;
    endif;
}
