    Hi there, I currently have a site using metabox and Divi 5 and when adding a new field and filling in the data on the CPT side it's not showing the data on the frontend.

    Site background: I originally setup the post types and custom fields when the theme was Divi 4, and I don't remember if I've added any new fields after the update to Divi 5 (updated May 2026), but believe I have added some since and the site has been running without much issue overall. We add new posts often and haven't had any issues when filling in content and having it display correctly at all.

    I tried adding a new custom field yesterday to dynamically add an ID attribute to a card, these cards come from a CPT and loop through to display them on the page template. But with the new field it's not working when there content is added to the new field, old fields that are previously in the template are working as expected.

    From the template side, it's set up correctly, correct data key set and applied but says "Your Meta Box Field Value Will Display Here" vs the keyed text from the post. I haven't seen this before, it usually pulls the text/copy/content from what is entered into the CPT posts fields.

    I've even tried adding a new Divi text module with an older meta key to see if it would pull the data correctly and it's not, it's still displaying "Your Meta Box Field Value Will Display Here"

    Static data displays as you would expect, post title, just nothing new MetaBox fields content for newly created fields or added modules with meta keys trying to pull

    You can see the comparison here from the template side, hoping this can help you understand all of this. It's a bit hard to explain.

    Main Body Screenshot- you can see the text "Testing The Special...More text to show here" comes through the meta key "CF Pro Main Details" (this was previously set up and is working as expected)

    Disclaimer Screenshot- you can see the text "Your Meta Box Field Value Will Display Here" vs displaying the same content as the Main Body using the same meta key "CF Pro Main Details" (not working as expected)

    Hopefully this is clear and I can get a quick solution.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    I see that the custom fields do not work when using a template or layout. It works when you edit the page with Divi builder directly and show the field value. Can you please recheck this?

    Hi Peter, thank you for the reply. To confirm, some text shows in the loop template but the issue isn't that it's not showing in the template, the issue is data is not showing on the frontend where it should be.

    I've added more screenshots here to see if this helps you understand better and to add more clarity to the issue.

    Screenshot from the Admin area, with the various bits of text added. New Anchor ID custom field added, shown with text entered. Older Main Details custom field shown with text entered.

    Screenshot from template builder Showing older text module set up with older custom field which displays correctly on the frontend.

    Screenshot from template builder Showing new text module with new Anchor ID custom field setup. This doesn't display on the frontend at all.

    Screenshot from template builder Showing new text module with old Main Details custom field setup. This doesn't display on the frontend at all.

    Screenshot of the frontend
    1. Shows how the older text module and Main Details custom field displays as expected on the frontend.
    2. Shows where the new text module should be (blue box) with new Anchor ID custom fields isn't displaying any data even though "New Field added 9/1/26 --- Data not showing up" is entered and saved on the admin side and the text module div is showing in the dom.
    3. Shows where the new text module should be (green box) with old Main Details custom field isn't displaying ay data, this data should be seen 2 times in this card, once from older area seen in the screenshot, and once from this newly added field not data not seen, but empty text module is showing in the dom.

    Let me know if this helps you understand better.

    Hoping to get this fixed ASAP.
    Thanks again
