Hello,

I’m having a problem similar to the one in this topic:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/change-numeric-field-to-display-as-string-terms-name-on-the-filter-page-2/

I’m using FilterEverything to filter products on a e-commerce and I used custom fields linked to CPT to select the brand of the product. The thing is when the list is displayed on the filters, I get the brand ID instead of the name.. I tried using the code you provided here changing the meta to “brand” as in my custom field but I still get the ID..

Hello @dimigia

Thank you for using Filter Everything plugin.

In general this code is too simple to make mistake in it. But I think misateke can be only one – you entered wrong value instead of ‘related_post’. Please, specify there your meta key, used for your Brand post meta (Custom) field.
```
add_filter('wpc_filter_post_meta_term_name', 'wpc_custom_term_name', 10, 2);
function wpc_custom_term_name($term_name, $e_name)
{   // related_post - is a filter meta key name. 
    if( $e_name === 'related_post' ){
        $term_name = get_the_title( $term_name );
    }
    return $term_name;
}
```

Hello, thanks for your answer.

For some reason it still doesn’t work.

I’ve tried with another CPT but it’s the same. The function is working when I replace $term_name without the if statement but the condition ( $e_name == ‘meta_key_name’ ) doesn’t work..

Ok, try please next code and let me know what data appears on the page with filters. This code should display all meta keys used in filters.
```
add_filter('wpc_filter_post_meta_term_name', 'wpc_custom_term_name', 10, 2);
function wpc_custom_term_name($term_name, $e_name)
{   // related_post - is a filter meta key name. 
    var_dump( $e_name );
    if( $e_name === 'related_post' ){
        $term_name = get_the_title( $term_name );
    }
    return $term_name;
}
```
