    I’m using a Relationship CF through ACF, and it gets me the IDs of the posts assigned.

    However, it returns a 404 page? When I use the auto-suggest feature, it shows me the post IDs as expected, but still, it doesn’t work? The query returns: “?_sfm_sak_vvpl=5505” etc.

    An interesting thing is that when I copy a serialized value from my database into my query, it works! Any ideas? This is very urgent and my client has received several complaints regarding this :/

    I can confirm that the post_meta search works with a super old version I had stored on my computer (v1.2.4).

    I think you may have done something wrong with the v1.4.1 because you tweaked with the post_meta in that release.

    Hey there, yeah I think there was a bug introduced in 1.3 somewhere which sometimes caused S&F to incorrectly detect if a post meta field was serialised or not – this caused some problems.

    I’ve just send you a fix which allows you to set is serialised for each post meta field, which should overcome this issue.

    Thanks

    Thanks! It seems to work.
    Does it work without serialised values as well? Because I’ve both.

    Also, will this “fix” be a part of v2.0?

    Yes and yes, you just must choose whether it is or is not serialised – it will work with either provided you set the correct option.

    S&F 2.0 doesn’t even have this option, because it once again correctly detects this 🙂

    Thanks

    I meant that ACF stores a normal string if it’s only one post assigned, but a serialised array if there are more posts assigned 😛
    So it stores both types to the meta_value column.

    But it’s no crisis if 2.0 will auto detect this 🙂

    Thanks for your quick replies!
