Hi again,
It seems the question mark issue has resolved itself but I have another issue. I created a custom field called "Review Issue" for the Review post type. For some reason that custom field is also showing up in the search results in other post types.

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you'd like to show the 'Review Issue' field in the 'Search Test' page's results, only if the post type is 'Reviews'.

To achieve this, you can add a 'Conditional' block that checks for the current post's type and only shows the inner content if it is equal to 'review', the slug of post type 'Reviews'.
( example screenshot attached )

Next, you can drag the 'Fields and Text' block that shows this field, inside the newly added conditional block, so that it only shows when the condition is true.

Here is a guide on using the conditional block:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need further assistance.

regards,

Hi Waqar,
What do I put in the Fields and Text block? I tried putting in a shortcode for the custom field but that didn't work.
This is what I entered: [types field='review-issue'][/types]

I've checked the search results page and the conditional block is correctly working to show the review issue, only for the 'Reviews' posts.

Looks like you've managed to make it work, after writing to us.

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions and for a new question or concern, you're welcome to start a new ticket.

Hi Waqar,
I guess it was a caching issue on my end because I couldn't see it was fixed. Thanks!
