In the members-only tutorials requests section, a user asked:
I have a CPT for “developer profiles” in that cpt i have a field group that puts info for a dev. in a metabox settings page I have a selection where we select 1 developer. I want to display the meta from this selected “post” (developer profile) but I am having an issue with getting any of the meta out. I can only get it to display the post name. Do oyu know the proper way to get this data? here is what I have tried – none of these do anything – it only shows the Post name and the post name is linked tothe post: -{mb_wl-settings_active_dev_profile:meta:dev_contact_email} -ID{mb_wl-settings_active_dev_profile:meta:post_id} -ID opt 2 {mb_wl-settings_active_dev_profile:ID} -{mb_get_post_meta:{mb_wl-settings_active_dev_profile},dev_contact_email}
This Pro tutorial shows how we can use the PHP query feature in Bricks to get the value (post ID) of a Post-type Meta Box custom field on a settings page and query it so that post's data like title, content, or any other custom fields can be easily output using the elements or dynamic data features.

Post type: team
MB settings page having the ID of: settings
Field group for the above settings page:
Field type: Post, Field ID: team_member
A team member post being selected on the settings page:

Step 1
Add a Block inside a Section's Container and enable query loop.
Toggle PHP query editor and paste:
