  Hey, I’m trying to get a conditional statement with

  <?php $info= get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘info’); if ( isset($info[‘test’]) ) { ?>

  but its always a false. Any ideas?

  Hi!
  CFC always stores it’s data as serialized array( array ) even if you only have one entry or you set up a single entry meta box, so it should be if( <?php $info= get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘info’, true); if ( isset($info[0][‘test’]) ) { ?>

  Thanks for your reply. Sadly, that method will always return a true (might be the php version and isset problem with multidimensional arrays?)

  Anyway, this will do the trick even though it’s not pretty:

  <?php $info = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'info', true);  foreach($info as $info) { 
  
   if ($info['test']) { echo 'true'; } else { echo 'false'; }
  
    }  ?>
