 * I am using the plugin flutter for creating custom write panels.
 * I can call all the custom fields with no troubles, except for the fields i have
   made checkboxes.
 * They simply return the word “array”
 * I use the call method they supply `get('hello', 1, 1, true)`
 * i have also used the wordpress method `get_post_meta($post->ID,'hello', true)`
   with no luck.
 * How do i get the value of the checkbox that is selected to display.

 * Checkboxes are tricky – they generally return arrays, so you need to handle them
   as such. The reason they return the word “Array” when you try to echo the output
   is because that is what that variable is: an array.
 * You might try iterating thruogh the checkbox array to get the values you want
   with a foreach loop. Whatever the case, do a little research on checkboxes in
   html, and arrays in php, and you should find your answer.

 * Thanks, but it turns out the plugin is not saving any other types of fields (
   checkbox, radio button etc) except the text fields.
 * I checked the Database in the wp_postmeta table.

 * Show checkbox list:
 *     ```
       $checks = get('checks_name');
       $output = "";
       foreach($checks as $check){
       	$output .= "<span>$check</span> ";
       }
       echo $output;
       // or return $output
       ```
