    Hi Patrick

    If you dive into /inc/metaslider.php line 70 you’ll see the metabox being created. “page” is what it’s being added to. This is totally untested but perhaps try the following in the functions.php file of your child theme:

    function vantage_child_metaslider_page_setting_metabox(){
	add_meta_box('vantage-metaslider-page-slider', __('Page Meta Slider', 'vantage'), 'vantage_metaslider_page_setting_metabox_render', 'custom_post_type', 'side');
}
add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'vantage_child_metaslider_page_setting_metabox');

    Change custom_post_type to your post type.

    Because this is untested, please don’t add the above without having FTP access open. If it fires an error you’ll need to revert to the previous version of your child theme functions file.
