Hello,

I have set a custom field called "numero", which should be the unique incremented ID of the custom post type "bon-de-commande".

For this, I have created this function, which populates the field "numero" when a new "bon-de-commande" is created :

		$nb_bc = wp_count_posts('bon-de-commande');
		update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-numero', ($nb_bc->publish + 1));

But when I try to display the field value on front end, I got this message Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home/../wp-content/plugins/types/library/toolset/types/embedded/frontend.php on line 638

Thank you.

Hi Roman,

Thank you for contacting Toolset support. This looks like a logical coding error. See solution here:

So I did this : store the number as a string.
This seems odd but it works.
Thank you.
