| Apr 23, 2015 at 9:40 | comment | added | orionrush | In this case I think it probably is, I've put the question to the plugin authors as well to see if they can comment. Normally accessing types CPTs and meta boxes work just fine within a loop, so it didn't occur to me that it might not be doing things as expected in this instance. | |

I keep trying to access the meta values using updated_post_meta and I'm not getting anywhere. If I run a save on the post in question, I only get one result, and I get strange numbers for the values of meta_key, meta_id and object_id. The meta_value returns _edit_lock. I dont this this action is running late enough. It may have to do with the fields being added by the types plugin, though in other instances I've been able to access them through the key name, so Im not sure what the difference. I've returned to my original approach using wp_update_post.

Answer updated. I used updated_post_meta incorrectly.

Erm, this produces a bunch of notices - first missing semicolon wp_update_post( $post, true )

I'm sorry but I don't know what types_render_field(); it is not a function from WordPress. Your problem seems to be related with custom meta fields. If those fields are in the form, I don't see why you can not get the value in save_post action as you with any other custom field.

I think you've missed my point. Im after the value of $show_time = types_render_field( "show-time", array("post_id"=>"$child_ID", "raw"=>"true") ); At the point of save_post, this value hasn't been set in the database, yet I want to add it to the post title. Take a read of wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/54713/13551. He's asking the same kind of question. Im just having trouble implementing it.
