I have created an Options page with the ID of site_settings. Within the page I have a few tabs(if this matters at all.) This Options page has a Custom field with the ID of promotion_banner. I am using the following code in the area I wish to display this output. However, it isn't working. How do I get it to?

[rwmb_meta id="promotion_banner" object_id="site_settings"]

I have also tried just this...

[rwmb_meta id="promotion_banner"]

I am putting it in an HTML WYSIWYG editor in the Header of the WP Customizer.

Hi Daniel,

The correct shortcode to get the field value in a settings page should be (you miss the attribute object_type)

[rwmb_meta id="phone" object_id="site_option" object_type="setting"]

phone is the field ID
site_option is the option name, not the settings page ID

Please read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/shortcode/

What exactly is an "option name"

Custom Field Group?

I mean I see this: Option name where settings data is saved to. If you want to use theme mods, then set this to theme_mods_$themeslug.

My options page is named "site_settings"

Hi,

If you are using the builder, you can see the option name when editing the settings page, screenshot https://imgur.com/0boG3lD

This "Option Name" shown in your screenshot, Long, is not a field in my settings page.

Hello,

The Option Name input is moved under the ID input when clicking on the Advanced text. Please read more in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-settings-page/#creating-settings-pages
