I’m exporting some data from a custom post type along with the data held in some custom fields. (built with WP Types / Toolset).

One of the custom fields is checkboxes(3 options).

The data from the checkboxes that is exported is not user friendly at all.

This is an example of 2 options out of 3 selected.

a:2:{s:64:”wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-109fc7ee4b17bb4e109887ad637ed997-1″;a:1:{i:0;s:1:”1″;}s:64:”wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-6418efa055e700b722b92f52e2334275-1″;a:1:{i:0;s:1:”1″;}}

How can I get this to export as opt1, opt2, or better still, the actual value of the field as saved in the DB?

Hi @eabonie

Unfortunately, this is the value as it’s saved in the database. You’ll need to use a custom PHP function on the export element to parse it and only export the values you want: http://www.wpallimport.com/tour/export-developer-friendly/.

Another option would be to export the “ID” element and use the Toolset Types API in your custom function to retrieve the checkbox data: https://wp-types.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/.
