ParticipantPlease forgive me, I'm new to the whole Metabox.io world and not a coder, so some of the terms and examples are not fully clear to me. BTW.. I'm using MB AIO.
I have a settings page called "Station Settings" with the Settings Page ID being "station-settings"
I have a Custom Field Group called "General Settings Group" with the Field Group ID being "general-settings-group"
Within the field group is a custom field call "Weather" with the ID being "weather"I have tried various combinations of the Shortcode, the one that makes the most sense to me is below.
But I can't seem to get it to display the contents of the field.[rwmb_meta id="weather" object_id="general-settings-group" object_type="station-settings"]Please do not point me to the Shortcode doc, because that is where I started with this example
[rwmb_meta id="phone" object_id="site_option" object_type="setting"]What am I missing here? Help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope.

ModeratorHi Thomas,
The shortcode in the documentation is an example if you want to use the shortcode to output a field value in a settings page.
Please change the attribute
-idby your field ID:weather
-site_optionby your option name. You can get the option name when editing the settings page, screenshot https://share.getcloudapp.com/kpun24X9
and keep the attributeobject_type="setting"The shortcode should be
[rwmb_meta id="weather" object_id="your_option_name" object_type="setting"]September 28, 2021 at 1:56 AM #31018ParticipantThis worked PERFECTLY.... Thank you!!
