    I setup a field of type "post" and field_type="checkbox_list" in order to select multiple posts.

    https://pastebin.com/TLKCfN5x

    When saving the post, the backend shows the checked posts correctly.

    But when getting the data on the frontend:

    $tour_ids = rwmb_meta( 'prefix_fp_tours' );

    My variable $tour_ids only returns a single id.

    Tried WP's function:

    $tour_ids = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'prefix_fp_tours', false );

    and here I get an array of ids.

    Hello,

    I've just tried your code and see it works. The helper function returns an array of IDs. Maybe you register meta boxes only for the admin (with a check like is_admin())?

    Mh I'm registering the metaboxes as follows:

    add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes ) { ... }

    The strange thing is the code works fine to me. Where do you put the add_filter code? Is it under any condition?

    Nope. It's directly executed in the functions.php of a theme

    Can you send me the site info via contact page? It's quite strange and I might need to look at the site's code to debug it.
