Hi guys,

Not sure if I'm overlooking something here but I am only getting a single result when using rwmb_meta to retrieve values for a checkbox list field. You will be able to see from the screenshot that there are two matching the post in question (#768). What am I doing wrong??
```
$post_services = (!empty(rwmb_meta('post_services'))) ? rwmb_meta('post_services') : '';
```
Thanks in advance,

Will

Hi,

Using the helper function for this field always returns an array so you need to loop through it to show the value. Please follow this documentation https://docs.metabox.io/fields/checkbox-list/#template-usage.

Hi Long, not sure if I didn't explain it properly.

The issue is that I am NOT getting an array but instead a single value. I am expecting an array containing both values (in this example) but not getting one...

Any thoughts?

Will

Hi Will,

Please share the code that you've used to create the checkbox list and get/show the field value. I will make a test on my local site.

Morning Long and thanks for staying with this. Very strange events here...I tried a few debugging options including resorting to default themes, trying different versions of MB and re-coding the function initialising the metaboxes, all with not joy. I then put it all back as it was and suddenly I am getting the desired array returned. I have no idea what happened here...but it is seemingly all working properly now.

Thanks.

Will
