    Hi Ahn - I'm testing the Mailpoet plugin, and am having a display issue when the a user is redirected back to the site to confirm a newsletter subscription.

    Here's the link structure where this is happening:
    https://[my-site]/?mailpoet_page=subscriptions&mailpoet_router&endpoint=subscription&action=confirm&data=eyJ0b2tlbiI6IjkzOGVkNyIsImVtYWlsIjoibGlhbWdtYXNAZ21haWwuY29tIn0

    The page is displaying a blank page with only the following:
    // Metabox.io https://docs.metabox.io/displaying-fields/

    The following is in my single.php theme file:
    <?php
    $value = rwmb_meta( $field_id );
    echo $value;
    ?>

    What's causing this, do you think?

    Thanks,

    Sam

    Hi Sam,

    Could you please share full the code of the file single.php? For example https://pastebin.com/91cF37zN

    And the function rwmb_meta( $field_id ); only works inside the loop. If you want to display the field value outside the loop, please use more arguments like this rwmb_meta( $field_id, $args, $post_id );

    Hi Long!

    I've added your additional arguments to my theme child's single.php, and it's still not working.

    Here's code from single.php (child): https://pastebin.com/AKTabuC8
    Here's code from single.php (theme): https://pastebin.com/PCukrUah

    And to refresh your memory, this display issue is coming as a result of a new plugin's auto-generated links (mailpoet3 plugin, btw).

    Thank you!
    Sam

    Hi Sam,

    If you display the field outside the loop, please replace the variable

    $field_id with the ID of the field, for example, https://docs.metabox.io/fields/text/#sample-code ID is text
    $args if you do not use any arguments, leave it blank
    $post_id with the ID (number) of the post, you can get it when editing the post and see on the URL wp-admin/post.php?post=2482&action=edit

    the code would be rwmb_meta( 'text', '', '2482' );

    Hi Long - I get what you're suggesting, but if you take a look at the example I provided originally
    https://[my-site]/?mailpoet_page=subscriptions&mailpoet_router&endpoint=subscription&action=confirm&data=eyJ0b2tlbiI6IjkzOGVkNyIsImVtYWlsIjoibGlhbWdtYXNAZ21haWwuY29tIn0)
    it doesn't have a $field_id or $post_id. It's auto-generated by the plugin (I've seen other plugins do this as well).

    So as you can see in the link example above, there's neither a $field_id nor a $post_id, right? Then how do I attack this instead? As you can tell, I'm stumped.

    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi Sam,

    Please take a look at the short screen record to know how to get the $field_id and $post_id then you can add the code to display the field value to anywhere.
