Hello,

I would like to include custom field (e.g. my-field) in URL of my custom post type. So it would look like hidden link . How can I achieve this?

Hi, Toolset doesn't provide this type of custom permalink structure. Our structures adhere to WordPress standards for custom posts, like post-type-slug/post-type. You would need a custom code solution here or a 3rd-party plugin to adjust the permalink structure to include a custom field. I will be glad to provide any Toolset-specific information you need to facilitate that implementation. I can show you how to get the value of a custom field from the database, for example:

types_render_field( "my-singlelinetext", array( ) );

Or using get_post_meta:

get_post_meta( 12345, "wpcf-my-singlelinetext", true);

More information about the types_render_field API is available here: https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/
