Overview
To display field value on the website, besides the helper functions, the Meta Box plugin provides a simple shortcode [rwmb_meta] to help users show the value in the post content or widget text without opening theme files and inserting PHP code.
[rwmb_meta id="field_id" object_id="15"]
Attributes
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
id |
The field ID. Required. Prior to version 4.17.0, this attribute was meta_key. |
object_id |
The object ID. Optional. If not defined, then the current object ID is used. Prior to version 4.17.0, this attribute was post_id. |
attribute |
Get a single attribute from the field value (such as URL of the image or term slug). The field value is get with the rwmb_get_value() helper function. This works only when the value is an array. Available since version 4.17.0. |
render_shortcode |
Whether to render inner shortcodes inside the value of the field. For example, if you enter a shortcode in a textarea/editor field, this attribute will render that shortcode and return the rendered content. Default true. |
This shortcode works exactly like rwmb_the_value() function with the same parameters.
Note: you can pass other attributes to the shortcode if you want. If you do so, those attributes will be passed to rwmb_the_value() function as the 2nd parameter.
