Serialized Data

Anonymous

#19011

I have some fields that are multiselect or checkbox fields that are serialized in the database. I’m trying to use these fields on the front to search the meta of those products. I am using ACF and Woocommerce. I have checked the fields to make sure they are simple names, and they are. When I set up the search details in the admin I am using the auto-suggest and it finds the terms but when you go to search it returns nothing. Is there anything I can do to make this work. This is the only plugin I’ve found that says in the description that it will search serialized data.

This is kind of urgent.
here is a link to the page I’m having problems with
http://woocommerce-6989-15431-36602.cloudwaysapps.com/shop/

I forgot to add that the field I’m having problems with is the certification field on that page.

Thank you

Hi there

There has been a bug fix for meta fields – I’ve just emailed you an update.

If you check in your post meta field there is now an option to choose whether the field is serialised or not.

Just so you know, searching serialised post meta can be slow, so try to use in moderation!

Thanks
