display custom meta field key/value pair in connected post query

  • Hi,

    I am working completely inside the WP Admin and im trying to make the admin post edit screen display meta values for connected posts.

    I have two CPTs Recipes and Ingredients. I have a p2p connection from->recipes to->ingredients many-to-many. Ingredients have a meta box with a normal custom field ‘cost’.

    I want to list the meta value for cost on the recipe admin edit page in a meta box.

    I want to do something similar to this example from the p2p wiki but get the meta value for the post id. (not p2p meta, the normal WP post meta)

    <?php
while( $connected->have_posts() ) : $connected->the_post();
    echo '<li>';

    the_title();

    // Display count and type
    echo '<br>';
    echo 'Count: ' . p2p_get_meta( get_post()->p2p_id, 'count', true );
    echo '<br>';
    echo 'Type: ' . p2p_get_meta( get_post()->p2p_id, 'type', true );

    echo '</li>';
endwhile;

    can someone point me in the right direction?

    This seemed to do the trick: “get_post_meta( $post->ID”

    <?php

    $connected = new WP_Query( array(
    'connected_type' => 'recipes_to_ingredients',
    'connected_items' => get_queried_object(),

) );

while( $connected->have_posts() ) : $connected->the_post();

    $cost = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'foxware-ingredient-cost', true );

        echo '<li>';

        the_title();

        // Display cost
        echo '<br>';
         echo 'Cost: ' . $cost;
        echo '</li>';
endwhile;
