    Hi, I’ve created a couple custom post types using WCK, all of them have unique custom fields too. I’m trying to create a list of this custom posts with their custom fields.

    Each time I create a new object with my custom form, it is added to the ‘wp_postmeta’ table, for example:

    Is there a way to access this fields using your plugin’s shortcodes?
    I tried something like this: 

    <ul>[posts]
<li>
[title]
[post_meta key="article-info"]
[excerpt wordlimit=20]
[more]
</li>
[/posts]</ul>

    How far am I from the right syntax?

    Thanks for your time!

    Your syntax is perfect. But there’s no shortcode to access a specific value when meta_value is array/object (serialized). The plugin will only be displaying them separate by comma.

    BTW: Referring your code, which key do you want to access exactly ?

    OK, an upgrade has been performed just for you ?? (1.9.9.5)

    Now you can do it, use an additional attribute sub_key. Usage –
    [post_meta key="article-info" sub_key="author"]

    And I will. But right now this isn’t working for me. I tried the new attribute but nothing gets shown. I verified that I’m using the latest version of the plugin. Any ideas? ??

    Looks like it’s a nested array. The new shortcode will only work for single level array ??

    Wont work –

    array (
  0 =>
  array (
    'year' => '2009',
    'original' => 'https://www.newsweek.com/why-religion-may-not-be-hard-wired-78555',
    'author-link' => '',
    'author' => 'Sharon Begley',
  ),
)

    Will work for –

    array (
    'year' => '2009',
    'original' => 'https://www.newsweek.com/why-religion-may-not-be-hard-wired-78555',
    'author-link' => '',
    'author' => 'Sharon Begley',
)

    I’m devastated :'(. Is it too much to ask for a new attribute: array_level=”2″?
