    Hi Long,

    So one thing I learned along the way was where the post data is stored - I expected it to be in post content (because its the content of the post), but it is stored elsewhere. I'm not sure why the content that I was looking for doesn't show up when I do print_r, but I couldn't see it and I could see that the post content was empty. Anyhow, after much trial and error and investigation I figured out how to query the post and the data that I was looking for.

    If you think this forum post is going to not help others then feel free to edit it as you see fit.

    Cheers

    FYI and for anyone who has a similar issue and finds this post, this is the code that allowed me to query posts in a post field in a cloneable field group. It's probably not the most efficient way of doing it but it works

    <?php
// Get values of custom field group
$group_values = rwmb_meta( 'group_m2qbw9n986h' );//Group ID
// Query posts in custom field type posts, in field group
$group_values = $group_values ?? [];
foreach ($group_values as $group_value){
    $my_post_id = $group_value['post_ecian25xrc9'];//ID of CPT being queried
    $args = array(
        'p'         => $my_post_id,
        'post_type' => 'any'
        );
 
    $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
 // Get post data and output post title and image for each to test
    while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
    $my_query->the_post();
    $post_meta = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'main_image', 'true');
 $main_img = wp_get_attachment_image_src($post_meta);
 echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
 echo '<img src="' . $main_img['0'] . ' "/>';
 
    };
}
    
    wp_reset_postdata();
 
?>

    Hi Long,

    If I had known what knowledge was required to use your product before I purchased I would not have purchased.

    As I said, there is no longer an issue as I have spent 2 days learning WordPress and PHP to figure out what to do.

    I would have appreciated a reply sooner with some guidance (not just a link to your documentation which I'd already explored for some time before posting here).

    Anyhow it's done, onwards and upwards

    Don't worry, after two days of investigation I figured it out myself!

    Not sure why you haven't got back to me with some support on this matter - and not sure why I paid for your premium licence when a lot of the time I need to understand PHP and wordpress queries to get the full value from your plugins, and your support is very much lacking.

    By the time I've learned everything that I need to know to use your plugins, I'll have enough knowledge to no longer need them

    Hi,

    Just wondering if you have any help for me on this? For some reason I can retrieve the posts but the content isn't available. I have set up a single template for the Accommodation Type to test that I can access the content, and I can, but for some reason I cannot using the query.

    Thanks

    EDIT: When I 'query' - I am actually wanting to build a repeater in Oxygen Builder that queries the cloneable Group - so I can access the content from the group (including the linked posts) via dynamic data for each instance of the cloneable group. I hope that makes sense!

    Hi Long,

    Many thanks for your reply. I have added your code but the post title still remains (no title) when I submit. Can you suggest anything to fix this?

    Here is the PHP from the builder

    add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );

function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';

$meta_boxes[] = [
    'title'        => __( 'Retreat Guest Info', 'your-text-domain' ),
    'id'           => 'retreat-guest-info',
    'post_types'   => ['retreat-info'],
    'storage_type' => 'custom_table',
    'table'        => 'wp_retreat_guest_info',
    'fields'       => [
        [
            'name'     => __( 'First Name', 'your-text-domain' ),
            'id'       => $prefix . 'customer_first_name',
            'type'     => 'text',
            'required' => true,
        ],
        [
            'name'     => __( 'Last Name', 'your-text-domain' ),
            'id'       => $prefix . 'customer_last_name',
            'type'     => 'text',
            'required' => true,
        ],
    ],
];

return $meta_boxes;

}
