    I have created this Metabox:

    add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'cpt_opinion_register_meta_boxes' );

function cpt_opinion_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes )
{
    $prefix = 'cpt_opinion_';

    $meta_boxes[] = array(
        'id'       => 'show_at_home',
        'title'    => __( 'Opciones' ),
        'pages'    => array( 'opinion' ),
        'context'  => 'normal',
        'priority' => 'high',
        'fields'   => array(
            array(
                'name'    => __('Mostrar opinión en portada'),
                'id'      => $prefix.'show_at_home',
                'type'    => 'checkbox'
            ),
        )
    );

    return $meta_boxes;
}

    Now I need to find each opinion 

    $normal_args   = array(
    'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
    'order'               => 'desc',
    'meta_query'          => array(
        array(
            'key'     => '_custom_blog_enhome',
            'value'   => '1',
            'compare' => '='
        )
    ),
    'post_status'         => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page'      => 6,
    'post_type'           => array('post','opinion','especiales','clasificados','portadadeldia','anunciantes')
);

$normal_query  = new WP_Query( $normal_args );

    How do I get the value set by the metabox in order to pass to the $normal_args parameters?

    I see you’re trying to get posts which has “cpt_opinion_show_at_home” checked, aren’t you?

    For checkbox field type, value is saved as 1 or 0 in the custom field, so you just need to add the following code to your meta_query:

    'meta_query'          => array(
        array(
            'key'     => '_custom_blog_enhome',
            'value'   => '1',
            'compare' => '='
        ),
        array(
            'key'     => 'cpt_opinion_show_at_home',
            'value'   => 1,
        ),
    ),

    Yes, this is what I need but if I add:

    array(
    'key'     => 'cpt_opinion_show_at_home',
    'value'   => 1,
)

    The WP_Query returns 0 rows, why is that?

    You have 2 rules in meta query:
    – _custom_blog_enhome=1 and
    – cpt_opinion_show_at_home=1

    Posts must satisfy all these conditions to be shown. Can you check that?

    Here’s the documentation from the Codex for WP_Query and meta query.

    Thanks I read the docs and add the OR at meta_query and things works:

    'meta_query' => array(
   'relation' => 'OR',
   array(
       'key'     => '_custom_blog_enhome',
       'value'   => '1',
       'compare' => '='
   ),
   array(
      'key'     => 'cpt_opinion_show_at_home',
      'value'   => 1,
   )
)
