I have the below code to add two separate meta boxes to my custom post type. Originally I had only the 'testimonial' meta box, which worked fine. I have now added 'credits' which is displaying fine in the admin, but doesn't seem to be saving to the database?
Can anyone help, hopefully it's nothing major.
// Allow registering of custom meta boxes
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'add_project_metaboxes' );
// Register the Project Meta Boxes
function add_project_metaboxes() {
add_meta_box('oak_testimonial', 'Testimonial', 'oak_testimonial', 'project', 'normal', 'default');
add_meta_box('oak_credits', 'Credits', 'oak_credits', 'project', 'side', 'default');
}
// Add Testimonial Metabox
function oak_testimonial() {
global $post;
// Noncename needed to verify where the data originated
echo '<input type="hidden" name="testimonialmeta_noncename" id="testimonialmeta_noncename" value="' .
wp_create_nonce( plugin_basename(__FILE__) ) . '" />';
// Get the testimonial data if its already been entered
$quote = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_quote', true);
$name = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_name', true);
$title = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_title', true);
$company = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_company', true);
// Echo out the field
echo '<p>Name:</p>';
echo '<input type="text" name="_name" value="' . $name . '" class="widefat" />';
echo '<p>Job Title:</p>';

The "name" of your of your 'oak_credits' metabox are wrong :

function oak_credits() {

wp_create_nonce( plugin_basename(__FILE__) ) . '" />';
// Get the credits data if its already been entered
$role1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_role1', true);
$name1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_name1', true);
$role2 = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_role2', true);
$name2 = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_name2', true);
$role3 = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_role3', true);
$name3 = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_name3', true);
