Problem: I would like to use a custom field from a related post to generate a dynamic link in the child post template. The Types field shortcode for this field is not returning any value.
Solution: You can use the Types field shortcode to output information from a related post using a special syntax in the "item" attribute, like this:
Problem: I have created a custom field group and applied it to a custom post type. After migrating my site to a new host, when I edit those custom posts in wp-admin I cannot see the field group. If I open the Screen Options tab, the field group does not appear in the list of available field groups for display.
Solution: This appears to be a server-side caching issue. Resave the field group(s) in Types > Custom Fields > Post fields, flush the object cache using the 3rd-party object cache system controls, and the field group should appear as expected when editing these posts.
