Header Element Template Tag Issue

Hi there,

Just to make sure, this is what you are trying to do?
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/header-element-template-tags/#custom_field-name

Can you make sure everything is done correctly, and link us to the site in question if it doesn't work?

Let me know :)

Hi Leo, yes, that's right. It's on a dev site that's password protected. How can I get you the info?

You can send the dashboard access using Account Issue here:

Please include the following information:

– Login URL.
– Username and password.

Thanks Leo. Account Issue sent.

This likely means the custom field is outputting an array, which our template tag isn't built for.

Instead, you'll want to build a shortcode:

add_shortcode( 'your_shortcode_name', function() {
    ob_start();
        
    $custom_field = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'your_custom_field', true );

    foreach ( $custom_field as $field ) {
        echo $field;
    }

    return ob_get_clean();
} );

Thanks Tom. I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes.

Hi folks, the problem was the fields I created were bidirectional relationship fields. I changed them to simple plain text and the fields now display properly.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing the solution!

So the settings are within PODs plugin I assume?

Just want to know for future reference :)

Leo, that's right. I created custom taxonomies and linked them with custom fields. Kind of a bummer they can't be linked but I kept the categories so I can still organize my samples in a couple different ways.

Thanks for reporting back!

I'm sure it will help the next user :)
