 * I have created a custom post type named company which I need to get some data
   from another custom post type named people. Specifically, I want to display in
   the company post type in edit mode a list of people’s names with checkboxes that
   belong to a specific country which is a custom field in people. So I would like
   to save to a custom field an array of all the names of the people that are checked
   in the checkboxes. I don’t want to do this by having specific custom fields for
   each person, and I don’t want to use any plugins. Just php and wordpress. Below
   is what I have done so far that displays (and not saves) succesfully a checkbox
   list with those names. Finally, I am a beginner to wp so be patient 😀 Any help
   would be greatly appreciated 😀
