[Closed] Allow multiple-instances of this field

I am trying to:

When a custom field is set to"Allow multiple-instances of this field" i would like to be able to have each instance of that field on a new line... for instance i am trying to have the output be an unordered list. However, it defaults to outputting each value inline with the last.

What is the best way to achieve each value on a new line?

Thanks in advance!

It depends on how you are outputting the fields.
If you are doing this via PHP you can use a code like this:

<ul>
<?php
$tests = get_post_meta('wpcf-FIELDNAME');
foreach ((array)$tests as $test) {
  echo '<li>' . $test . '</li>';
}
?>
</ul>

Other way is to use </br> instead of unordered list.

If you are using Views you can use wpv-for-each - https://toolset.com/documentation/views-shortcodes/#wpv-for-each

Hi when I use:

<ol>[wpv-for-each field="learner]<li>[wpv-post-field name="learner]</li>[/wpv-for-each]</ol>

The output is simply :

[types field="learner??][/types]

I am using Types and Views.

I am not sure how you are getting this.
Can you provide the real code that you are using?

Do you use this code in a view?

Can you test with the field with prefix "wpcf-"?

Yes i am using this code in a view, here is the view content template (I use tables for drafting layouts, please do not be offended)

[wpv-post-body view_template="None"]
[types field="add-image-video" link="true" id=""][/types]
<h4>The Routine</h4>
<table width="98%" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
  <tr>
    <td>I will (the Learner)</td>
    <td>Support me by (What the partner needs to do)</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><ul>[types field="learner" id=""][/types]
</ul></td>
<td><ol>[wpv-for-each field="support-me-by-what-the-partner-needs-to-do"]<li>[types field="support-me-by-what-the-partner-needs-to-do??][/types]</li>[/wpv-for-each]</ol></td>
  </tr>
</table>

<h4>Environment</h4></br>
<Strong>Things I need Setup:</strong>
<p>[types field="things-i-need-setup" id=""][/types]</p>

<strong>The space needs to be:</strong>
<p>[types field="the-space-needs-to-be" id=""][/types]</p>

</br>

<h4>Time</h4></br>
<strong> <I am happy to do this for:</strong> 
<p>[types field="i-am-happy-to-do-this-for" id=""][/types]</p> 
</br>
<h4>Alternative</h4></br>
<p>[types field="i-could-also-do-this" id=""][/types]</p>

<h4>Skills I am working with</h4>
<p>[types field="skills-i-am-working-with" id=""][/types]</p>

<div class="site-info">
<?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link', 'Previous post in category: %title', TRUE); ?>
<?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;', 'Next post in category: %title', TRUE); ?>

All of the fields execute apart from the one discussed. I can test with the field prefix.

I really do appreciate the support you are giving me with this.

You have the problem with the field "learner", as far as I can see you have this code:

    <td><ul>[types field="learner" id=""][/types]

and it should be like this:

<ul>[wpv-for-each field="learner"]
<li>[types field="learner" id=""][/types]</li>
[/wpv-for-each]</ol>

I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site in order to be of better help. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.

Okay. I respect your privacy. I am enabling the private field again, and when you are ready, please submit the access credentials there, so I could debug this further.
