Problem: I would like to display custom fields in PHP using types_render_field, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Solution: Update to Types 3.0.7, use a specific post ID, and do not use the wpcf- field prefix.

Relevant Documentation:
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/

Problem:
How can you display the name of the current term on a taxonomy archive page outside of the loop.

Solution:
It is currently not possible, though is an obvious omission, and the feature should be added soon.

In the meantime you can register a custom shortcode to output the term, which will output the name by default but when using the field argument can optionally output and of the name, slug, the description, count, or the taxonomy itself.

/*
 * Output taxonomy fields on a taxonomy archive
 *
 * attribute 'field' : name | slug | taxonomy | description | count
 */
add_shortcode( 'taxonomy', function( $atts = [] ){
 
    // default to taxonomy name
    $atts = shortcode_atts( [ 'field' => 'name' ], $atts );
  
    $output = "";
 
    global $wp_query;
 
    $tax = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
 
    $field = $atts['field'];
 
    $output = $tax->$field;
  
    return $output;
 
});

Problem: I have a View that uses a post ID filter based on a URL parameter. I am able to use the URL parameter array to show multiple posts in the View results. I would like to be able to allow my Users to click a button next to any result to remove that result from the list, and show an updated list of results. For example, here is the URL format for the View:
@http://mysite.com/?post_ids%5B%5D=24&post_ids%5B%5D=23&post_ids%5B%5D=22&post_ids%5B%5D=21&s=

I would like to be able to click a button next to post ID 23 and end up at a URL like this:
@http://mysite.com/?post_ids%5B%5D=24&post_ids%5B%5D=22&post_ids%5B%5D=21&s=

Solution: I can't think of any easy way to do this without some JavaScript URL manipulation. Something like this:

jQuery('#wpv-supplier-comparison :submit').click(function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  var url = window.location.href,
    val = jQuery(e.target).val(),
    firstVarString = '?post_ids%5B%5D=' + val,
    notFirstVarString = '&post_ids%5B%5D=' + val,
    firstVarPos = url.indexOf(firstVarString),
    notFirstVarPos = url.indexOf(notFirstVarString),
    pos = firstVarPos > -1 ? firstVarPos : notFirstVarPos,
    varString = firstVarPos > -1 ? firstVarString : notFirstVarString,
    urlArray = url.split(varString, 2),
    newUrl = urlArray[0] + urlArray[1];
 
  if(newUrl.indexOf('?') < 0) {
    newUrl = newUrl.substr(0,newUrl.indexOf('&')) + '?' + newUrl.substr(newUrl.indexOf('&')+1);
  }
  window.location.href = newUrl; 
});
