    Hi,

    I store custom fields in a custom table. When I add a post through the WP admin it gets nicely stored in the custom table. But actually posts of this post type are created through a Make - WordPress connection (Create a Post).
    These posts still are stored in the postmeta table.

    How can I get this stored in the custom table?

    Hello Eddy,

    I don't understand the issue fully, can you please share more details about this? Meta Box doesn't support storing the post data (title, content ...) in the custom table by default, only the custom fields.

    Do you mean the custom fields in this state? These posts still are stored in the postmeta table.

    If the Make creates the post via Rest API, you can ask them to create the custom fields via Rest API also. Following the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-rest-api/

    Hi Peter,

    Yes, I mean the custom fields are not stored in the custom table, but still in the postmeta table.

    I don't understand your suggestion. Whether the custom fields are stored in postmeta or custom table, isn't that a Metabox matter? Why should that affect Make? Make delivers the custom fields, yet they arrive in postmeta.

    Hello,

    Whether the custom fields are stored in postmeta or custom table, isn't that a Metabox matter?

    Yes, the custom field value stored in a custom table is a Meta Box matter, but does it work with the standard WordPress editor?
    If it doesn't work with Make, I'm not sure how Make works with WordPress. Maybe it inserts/updates the post data and custom field via Rest API and it isn't compatible with MB Custom Table functions.

    If it is possible, please setup a clean environment and share the information via this contact form https://metabox.io/contact/
    I will inform the development team to check it and see if we can improve something from our side.

    Thanks.

    Hi Peter,

    I have created a showcase site and sent details through your contact link.
    Good luck!
