rwmb_value

This filter is used to change a field value before saving it in the database.

apply_filters( 'rwmb_value', $value, $field, $old, $object_id );

It accepts 4 parameters:

Name	Description
$value	Field value which will be saved in the database
$field	Field settings
$old	The old meta value of the field (which was previously in the database)
$object_id	The object ID

This filter has variations:

• rwmb_value: apply to all fields
• rwmb_{$field_type}_value: apply to fields with a specific type
• rwmb_{$field_id}_value: apply to a field with a specific id

info

If you return an empty string or an empty array (for cloneable fields or fields with multiple values like file, image, checkbox list), the field won't be saved in the database.

Examples

Disallowing a value from being saved:

add_filter( 'rwmb_event_date_value', function( $new, $field, $old, $object_id ) {
    if ( $new === '2022-05-01' ) { // No events on Labor Day
        $new = '';
    }
    return $new;
} );
