Hello,
How can I use repetable field group in many posts type?
Because I have got this advise when I made a filter with repetable field group as select option:
"This will filter out posts of the following types, because they are not related to any other post type: INTRATTENIMENTI, LUOGHI"
Regards
L.

Because I have got this advise when I made a filter with repetable field group as select option:
Right now, it is not possible to filter a View of posts by a field in a repeating field group. You can only filter a View of repeating field groups by these fields. Then in the results of that View you can access information about the post using our shortcodes. The repeating field group feature is still quite new and our developers are working to improve Views filtering to support these fields.

Sorry it's not currently possible to use a repeatable field group in many post types. You must recreate the repeating field group for each post type.

Hi,
how can I filter a View of repeating field groups by these fields? i don't see the difference from simple custom fields

#1098013

Add filters to the Search and Pagination panel, or to the Query Filter panel, the same way you would add filters for simple custom fields. The difference is you must select the Repeating Field Group as the content of the View. To filter by simple custom fields you would select the post type as the content of the View, not the RFG.

You cannot share RFGs with many post types. It is not possible.
