Elementor - Listing Chosen Posts

Some images for reference:

Hi Peter,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I'm happy with how to use the skin and choose one.

My questions is how do I pull the post link for the button of a skin, the featured image and the excerpt?

Hey Peter, thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. Is it possible to use it for a search query in in a filter? And for it to just return the query for posts from that specific custom field for that post onlyand not the whole website?

I hope you can understand what I’m trying to achieve here. Being able to pull the post from that custom field. I can use a different widget that displays posts using a search query/filter then I’ll be able to get all that data that I need and display it with the featured image.

Thank you again for all your help is really appreciated if I can leave feedback or review somewhere to help you guys please let me know. All the best, Simon.

Hiya I thought I'd share the query which got this to work if you want to reference it elsewhere for users trying to do the same.

Using the post field and set it up as cloneable if you want multiple internal links.
Custom field ID of mb_lnk_int
Use a post widget of your choice and the custom query "mb_internal_links_filter"

Then create this snippet

/**
 * Filter to get posts referenced in the mb_lnk_int MetaBox post field
 * This function retrieves posts linked in the current post's mb_lnk_int field
 * 
 * @param array $query_args The original query arguments
 * @return array Modified query arguments
 */
function filter_internal_linked_posts($query_args) {
    // Get the current post ID
    $current_post_id = get_the_ID();
    
    // If no current post ID is available (like on archive pages), return original args
    if (!$current_post_id) {
        return $query_args;
    }
    
    // Get the linked posts from current post's meta field
    $linked_posts = get_post_meta($current_post_id, 'mb_lnk_int', true);
    
    // If no linked posts or empty value, ensure no results by using non-existent ID
    if (empty($linked_posts)) {
        $query_args['post__in'] = array(0); // Will return no results
        return $query_args;
    }
    
    // Convert to array if it's a single value
    if (!is_array($linked_posts)) {
        $linked_posts = array($linked_posts);
    }
    
    // Set up query to get only the posts that are referenced in current post's mb_lnk_int
    $extra_query = array(
        'post__in' => $linked_posts,
        'post_type' => 'any', // Get any post type that is referenced
    );
    
    // Merge with existing query args, prioritizing our filter
    $query_args = array_merge($query_args, $extra_query);
    
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter('mb_internal_links_filter', 'filter_internal_linked_posts');
