I have the following PHP code to display the address of a parent post 'location' on a page of a child post.

code on child post:

global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
$parent = wpcf_pr_post_get_belongs(get_the_ID(), 'locations');

echo get_post_meta($parent, 'wpcf-address-1', true);

In Views version 3.2.2, the code works fine. But in the recent version 3.3.4 or 3.3.5 of Views, the code dose not work and does not display the data.

What changes do I need to make to my code to make it work in version 3.3.5 of Views?

I am currently using version 3.4.5 of Types.

Thank You

Hello,

If it is, you can use the new relationship API function toolset_get_related_post() to get the related parent post:

Thanks Luo. I was able to fix it using this code:

$parent_location = toolset_get_related_post( $postid, array( 'locations', 'attorney' ) );

echo get_post_meta($parent_location, 'wpcf-address-1', true);
