Post select field

Post select field. Displays a select input allowing the user to select a post.

Use the 'query' argument to modify the posts that will be available as options. See the documentation on WP Query for more information.

If the 'use_ajax' argument is set to true, the options are populated by an AJAX request when the select field is first clicked.

The value stored is the post ID.

Uses Select2, a jQuery based replacement for select boxes.
