Meta Box

Hi,

Unfortunately, the front-end editing of custom fields is not possible for Elementor. We have an extension MB Frontend Submission, which allows edit posts and custom fields on the front end. It works via an shortcode that you can put in Elementor. But that's a different approach.

Hi Chris,

Can you send me a temporary admin account to look at? This is a major update of MB Builder and there's some change in how the plugin stores data. I wrote the Upgrade script to migrate data, but there might be some unexpected bug.

Hi Andrien,

The AIO update will be available on Monday. I've updated only MB Custom Post Type plugin.

Hi Max,

You can do raw SQL query like this:

global $wpdb;
$ids = $wpdb->get_col( "SELECT <code>to</code> FROM $wpdb->mb_relationships WHERE <code>from</code> = 123 AND <code>type</code> = 'your_relationship' ");

PS: I think WP_Query is fine if you set 'fields' => 'ids'.

Hi Dave,

It's clear that GF works only with standard WP user meta. It doesn't work with any custom table (not only MB Custom Table, but all).

I think the solution is writing a custom code to hook to GF query, as they said. Unfortunately, I'm not experience with that.

@latlong: There is an updated fix on this, can you try the latest version on Github?

This is a bug in the plugin and is already fixed here:

https://github.com/wpmetabox/meta-box/commit/2c2e7da9e3cb340edcff2d80069e1fb27f1910a2

Please apply it in the mean time. I'll update the Meta Box plugin in a few days.

Hi Vinny,

The query function makes sure you can get all posts to connect to/from. If you don't need to do that, you can optimize the query by using the query_args parameter for the from or to side to avoid the 'posts_per_page' => -1.

See this docs for details:

https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-relationships/#syntax

There is no way for us to figure out all the use cases for this core function, but does MB really need to store all post fields?

As you see, we're using WP_Query and it doesn't have any option to return some fields. Besides, we need all post fields in case developers want to filter what field to display.
