I have a view that filters on a URL - e.g google.com

However, it doesn't match against the URL field unless I 're-save' the custom post manually.

Here is my workflow.

CRED form - submits the new Article post, whilst doing this it also creates a Website post (IF there is 'not' one matching the custom URL field - which is identical on both records) - This all works fine.

On the Article post, there is a View, this view looks up and matches against both custom field values and IF there is a match it creates a hyperlink to the Website custom post type.

IF on the VIEW I remove the filtering and set the Limit and Offset to more than 1, I can see that the view can find the Website CPT exists that has just been created... however, when I go to apply the filter it says it cannot be found.

IF I go into that Website post and 'Save' manually - then suddenly I can see this in the view?

Why is this behavior happening? As I have a very similar view on the Website page that matches all the Articles with the Website URL and it appears to be fine.

Attached are some images

Here is the CRED_SAVE_DATA

<?php
/**
 * Check on EDIT or New post for a website match in the 'Website' CPT - if not found add one. 
 */

toolset_snippet_security_check() or die( 'Direct access is not allowed' );

//FUNCTION TO CHECK IF Exsists
function meta_value_exists($your_meta_value) {
    $args = array(
        'post_type'   => 'website',
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'numberposts' => 1,
		'meta_query' => array(
                     	array('key' => 'wpcf-naked-website-domain',
                            'value' => $your_meta_value,
                            'compare' => 'REGEXP'
                            )),                   
    );
    $current_post = get_posts($args);
    if( $current_post ) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

// CRED_SAVE_DATA                    
add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'url_save_check_quickadd_website', 10, 2 );

function url_save_check_quickadd_website( $post_id, $form_data ){
  
$forms = array( 1354 );
  
if ( in_array($form_data['id'], $forms) ){ 
  
  
if (isset($_POST['quickurl'])){
		$url = strtolower($_POST['quickurl']);
 		$urlhost = parse_url($url);
		$urlhostwww = preg_replace('/^www\./', '', $urlhost['host']);
		$urldomain = preg_replace('/^(?:[-a-z0-9_]+\.)?([-a-z0-9_]+\..+)$/', '$1',$urlhost['host'])."\n"; 
//Start
		// $field_id = $_POST['quickurl'];
		$field_id = $urldomain;  
		if(meta_value_exists($field_id)){
   // do something if exists
  		//update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-article-teaser', 'All ready there');
		} else {
   // do something if not exists
  		// update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-article-teaser', 'added a new one');
                  $new_post = array(
					'post_title' => $urldomain,

					'post_status' => 'publish',
					'post_date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),

//THE META DATA Insert
					'meta_input'   => array('wpcf-naked-website-domain' => $urldomain ),
					);

Hello,

It seems to be a compatibility or cache issue, please check these:
1) deactivate all other plugins, and switch to wordpress default theme 2020, and test again

2) Also check if there is any PHP/JS error in your website:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/debugging-sites-built-with-toolset/

3) If the problem still persists, please provide database dump file(ZIP file) of your website, also point out the problem page URL and view URL, I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks

Not entirely sure what's going on but I think it's me...
