Hi! I read through various posts in the forums about renaming the id field and it's all very straightforward in PhpMyAdmin but I'm using Flywheel, and they have a custom database manager: https://getflywheel.com/wordpress-support/php-on-flywheel/
I tried changing the meta_key but the post fields keep breaking (showing empty). I changed the highlighted part (to correct the misspelled id) https://snipboard.io/PdhW1v.jpg, but I lost all data, including the fields. I also changed it other locations but still no luck: https://snipboard.io/ziFELP.jpg. Any thoughts on how to tackle this?
Please don't change the field ID directly in the meta_box key, it is the field group settings. You can follow the article below to change the field ID on your site https://metabox.io/changing-meta-box-field-id/
Peter, I did follow that exact article and ran the SQL query but it doesn't work. It says the command has been executed but when I go back and look at the id it's still the same. Do I need to adjust the query parameters?
