# What Is Wrong With My Code? (PHP & JS)

 * I’m using PHP & JS code snippets to find the meta field values of posts that 
   are displayed from the content views plugin. The JS works but every post says“
   undefined”. I used ChatGPT to help with the code.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <?php
       // Get the "time" meta value for each post displayed by the Content Views plugin
       $times = array();
       $posts = get_posts(array('post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => -1));
       foreach ($posts as $post) {
           $time = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'time', true);
           $times[$post->ID] = $time;
       }
       ?>
   
       <script>
       jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
           // Parse the "times" string as a JSON object
           var times = JSON.parse('<?php echo json_encode($times); ?>');
   
           // Append the "time" meta value to each post
           $('.pt-cv-content-item').each(function() {
               var postId = $(this).find('a').attr('href').split('/').pop();
       ```

 * I don’t see right now in what context you are running the code. You talk about
   a “content views plugin” – what do you mean by that?
 * By the way, using ChatGPT as a starting point is NOT a good idea. The code you
   show is incomplete and buggy.

 * [@threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) I’m using WPCode (plugin)
   to manually add code snippets to pages on my site. In this case, I’m trying to
   modify the output of a plugin that displays posts in a grid- that plugin is called
   Content Views. I managed to get JavaScript to append the meta field to each post
   in the plugin, but I think I’m running into an issue getting the post meta data
   field using PHP.

 * Okay, your goal is clear. But in what context do you execute the code? It should
   actually be based on a hook if you want to add something somewhere.
 * It might make more sense if you contact the Content Views support: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/content-views-query-and-display-post-page/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/content-views-query-and-display-post-page/)
