ModeratorHello,
I think you should contact Etch support and ask them if there is a filter/action hook that you can use to adjust the code and use the function
rwmb_the_valuein their query.Thanks.
Peter
ModeratorHello Tom,
Thanks for reaching out.
Using Meta Box, you can use the helper function
rwmb_the_value()to show the field label. Please follow the documentation to get more details https://docs.metabox.io/fields/select/Let me know how it goes.

ModeratorHello,
I'm using Elementor 4.1.1, Elementor Pro 4.1.0, Meta Box AIO 3.7.1 and not able to reproduce the issue. Here are steps I take on my demo site:
- create a settings page and add custom fields to the settings page: single image and image advanced
- create a post, edit it with Elementor
- add widgets Image, Gallery
- use the Dynamic Tags and get the field value from the settings page
- save changes and visit the post in the frontendBased on your error log, I see that it is related to the Kadence theme. Can you please deactivate all plugins except Meta Box AIO, Elementor plugins, switch to a WordPress theme and recheck the issue?

ModeratorHello Tom,
Thanks for reaching out.
Currently, Meta Box supports deleting the JSON file when deleting a field group that is synced with the JSON file. It doesn't have an option to delete JSON files that do not sync with a field group. You can read more about local JSON feature in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/local-json/

ModeratorHello Tom,
It isn't a bug. We have a note about this setting in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/fields/taxonomy/#settings
it doesn't work with Gutenberg (block editor) only works with the Classic editor.
If you want to remove the default taxonomy meta box of WordPress, when editing the taxonomy: Meta Box > Taxonomies > Edit the taxonomy > Disable the option "Show on edit page". Please follow the documentation

ModeratorHello Eddy,
I understand that you want to edit the field when editing the user role
co-producerwhile you have another role, likeadministrator. You can use the settingEdited user roleto show the field when editing a user who has the roleco-producer. See this screenshot https://imgur.com/8hqQt1DLet me know how it goes.

ModeratorHello Tom,
Thanks for reaching out.
I have some suggestions that might help you get a better way to manage fields:
1. The
groupfield should be used to store values. It shouldn't be used to query posts by subfield value because the subfield value is stored in a serialized array in the database. Refer to this article
https://metabox.io/create-group-of-custom-fields-with-meta-box-group/2. Having too many fields on an editing page with conditional logic would impact the loading time. You can use the extension MB Include Exclude to load certain field groups when editing a post. Please follow this documentation to get more information
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-include-exclude/If you want to use the filter or search form to get posts by field value, I think you can use top-fields (not in a group field) only. Split them into more field groups for easier management.

ModeratorHello,
Deleting a field in a field group won't delete the data in the database. You can go to Meta Box > Tools > Remove custom field data section to find and delete the field data in the database.

ModeratorHello Eddy,
Thanks for reaching out.
If you select the option "User Role", the user with the selected role will see the field group when editing the user. For example: you are "humilis" user, you have the role Creator, you will see the field groups "Creator Design" and "License" but not the field groups "Documents" and "Various".
You can try to set the "User role" to "Administrator" for all field groups and recheck this issue. Read more about the include/exclude settings in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-include-exclude/

ModeratorHello Aidan,
Thanks for reaching out.
I'm not able to reproduce the issue on my demo site, please check this screenshot https://imgur.com/a/eZLeva4
Here are steps I do on the site:
- create a new field group and add a taxonomy field (for example)
- save the field group
- check the field group and taxonomy field displayed on the post editing page- add a
groupfield
- add asub-groupfield
- add atextsub-field
- add apostsub-field
- add anumbersub-field
- add 3postsub-fields
- add acolor pickersub-field- save the field group and all sub-fields are displayed correctly on the post editing page
can you please share a screen record of steps you take on your site? You can try to deactivate all plugins, leave only Meta Box AIO activated, switch to a WordPress theme and recheck this.

May 29, 2026 at 8:02 PM in reply to: ✅Settings page: boolean-type values display correctly in Bricks, not in front-end #50003Peter
ModeratorThe issue happens because the settings field values are translated with "1" value using Polylang. Removing the translation value will fix the issue.
Thanks.

ModeratorHello John,
Thanks for reaching out.
Can you please explain more about this step
when I go to delete it, it does not disappear? Where do you delete it? Have you tried to find the field name in the database, table wp_postmeta?Peter
ModeratorHello,
Do you have the template named
girl-powered-downloads? If you include an external View template in a View content but the template doesn't exist, it will cause a fatal error like that.Following the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#using-external-views
You can access database, table wp_posts, search for the post type
mb-viewsand check the content of all posts to find the View template has a non-existing templategirl-powered-downloads. -
