    Hey y’all

    Sorry… newbie non coder here

    I have a custom field I created for a form where users can check multiple checkboxes.

    When I use this shortcode, the only vlaue it returns is the value of the first checked box. I need the values of all of them returned.

    ‘[content type=”post” name=”{Post Title:1}” field=”special_features”]’

    Should I be using a loop? Sorry I have no idea how!

    Thanks very much in advance!
    Mike

    Hello,

    This depends on how the field values are being stored. As a test, I displayed a field of multiple checkboxes made in Advanced Custom Fields, and it shows all checked values as a comma-separated list.

    [content type="post" name="post-name" field="checkboxes"]'

    To see what’s inside the field, could you try this?

    [loop type="post" name="post-name"]
  [array special_features debug="true"]
  [/array]
[/loop]

    That will show how the data is structured. Then, we can figure out how to display it.

    Thanks Eliot… Actually it displayed nothing when running that loop..

    It’s ok , I got it sorted out by using merge tags from gravity forms to display the content from the fields in my post body. It’s working great.

    I’m using ACF and Custom Content Shortcode with gravity forms. Really awesome combination. Thanks again for your reply. It would be fun to investigate further with you, but I’m out of time! ;-}

    THanks again
