Checkbox/Multiselect values stores as string value

Hello Vladimir,

I will discuss about this issue with our developer team. Hope I will come back to you a right solutions.

Thank You 🙂

Please do – I need to be able to have each value separated so it could be used for filtering.

Thanks

Hello Vladimir,

Yes it is possible to split the string. Please open wp-user-frontend/wpuf-functions.php and find below line, where you need to modify.

$value = get_post_meta( $post->ID, $attr['name'] );

                $new = implode( ', ', $value );

To attain that feature you need to customize by yourself or you can hire a developer.

Thank You 🙂

This is crazy! The checkbox acts as a Radio Button and stores as a single value. When presenting on the page, if multiple values are selected it shows a single string with the separator included. This should be serialized – it’s not right to leave it like this. Please let me know if you plan on fixing this and when???

Hello Vladimir,

I am really sorry to say that we do not have this plan to serialize that data right how. I have given you an instruction my last post. You can try your own or you can hire a developer.

Thank You 🙂

Regardless of logic or not – you provide code which is used to display field values. Do you and the developers feel that when a Checkbox field is to be displayed, the best way to showcase all selected checkboxes in a field is BMW| Mercedes| Audi ? shouldn’t it be a UL>LI or something?

Hello Vladimir,

Yes, yes are right and we are not arguing with you. The code I have provided to you is a clue that how values can be access by get_post_meta function. When you have certain fields values contain in a variable you can show that values any order and any layout.

Thank You 🙂

I also have this issue. I paid for this plugin as a ‘Pro’ plugin and am surprised to find that you don’t handle checkboxes properly.

Hello Stacey,
