Any feedback or help would be really appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>I had my client purchase your plugin and for scheduling classes for technical training.  I needed something that would work with the custom post types of courses.  I realize that ECP makes its own CPT&#8217;s but I wanted to have a separation between temporal and &#8220;static&#8221; content.  I then created a custom meta-fields named course ID that both CPT&#8217;s could share.  I created the variable of $cpt_course_id and passed that in with the $get_posts query, spitting out 3 upcoming courses while on the single courses CPT page.<\/p>\n<p>This is exactly what I need it to be doing with one exception.  When I have a recurring event it repeats the same event and dates.  For example, if I put a recurring setting on a CCNA course for the dates 15th, 16th, 17th it will just display all dates and permalinks for the course on the 15th.<\/p>\n<p>Here is my code:<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;upcoming&#8217;,<br \/>\n\t&#8216;posts_per_page&#8217;=&gt;3,<br \/>\n\t&#8216;meta_query&#8217; =&gt; array(<br \/>\n\t\tarray(<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t&#8216;key&#8217; =&gt; &#8216;_ecp_custom_6&#8217;,<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t&#8216;value&#8217; =&gt; $cpt_course_id,<br \/>\n\t\t\t)<br \/>\n\t\t)<br \/>\n\t) );<\/p>\n<p>foreach($get_posts as $post) { setup_postdata($post); ?&gt;<\/p>\n<p>        &lt;a href=&quot;&#8221; id=&#8221;post-&#8220;&gt;<\/a><br \/>\n        &lt;a href=&quot;&#8221;&gt;ID, true, &#8216;M j, Y&#8217;); ?&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Any help or advice is really appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-60927","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Display via Custom Meta Field on post or custom post type -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/display-via-custom-meta-field-on-post-or-custom-post-type\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Display via Custom Meta Field on post or custom post type -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello Tribe, I have been doing a lot of work with your plugin recently and I figured out something that I would like to share and something that I am getting caught up on.
