Description

I got this error when I was writting a plugin

Fatal Error: Call to undefined function add_meta_box()

I'm calling the function from the main plugin's php file and I had no problems with other wordpress functions, I've copied a sample code from Wordpress codex but it didn't worked. I read some post that said in wordpress 3.01 the problem was fixed but I'm using that version.

Sorry for my bad english.

The file that contains add_meta_box() is not loaded at that point.

You need to hook into 'admin_menu' like the Codex suggests or even better in 'add_meta_boxes'.
