Problem: I would like to use a checkboxes group to display different icons using something like FontAwesome. Can I insert the icons in the checkboxes field values using HTML?
Solution: It's best to use a simple string as the value of each checkbox in a checkboxes group. Instead of using complex HTML in these values, use the "state" and "checked" options in the Types field shortcode, or use conditionals to display different content based on the checked checkboxes.
[types field="my-checkboxes" option="0" state="checked"]Add icon 1 HTML here[/types]
[types field="my-checkboxes" option="1" state="checked"]Add icon 2 HTML here[/types]
[types field="my-checkboxes" option="2" state="checked"]Add icon 3 HTML here[/types]
Problem: I would like to use my checkboxes group field as filters in a custom search, but the field does not appear in the popup where I select a field for creating custom search filters.
Solution: In the custom field settings for this checkboxes group, be sure "Save 0 to the database" is not checked. This option does not work with custom search Views. If you had this option checked previously and wish to change it, you must resave any posts where no checkboxes were checked. Otherwise, you may receive false positives in search results.
