Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Using Pods, make a CPT and add a WYSIWYG + a text field
  2. Make a post of that CPT with 1-2 children
  3. Put some stuff into the parent’s 2 fields, including line breaks in WYSIWYG field
  4. Make a global header template including a query loop querying the custom post type, 1 post per page, child of “0”
  5. Inside query loop, put the text field (e.g. basic text element, {cf_mytextfield})
  6. Make a post template for one of the CPT children
  7. Make a query loop like in step 4
  8. Inside query loop, put the WYSIWYG field

On https://hnr2023.2sinn.it/profil/nordhessen/, I have a header template and a post template in which I use query loops to render custom field data from a post family’s parent:

After installing Bricks 1.8.2.1, some of that data doesn’t render properly and some doesn’t render at all. In the post template, line breaks are stripped from a WISYWIG field.

In the header template, I am using a query loop to pull in a phone number from a post’s parent and it isn’t rendered. Instead, the field code, {cf_telefonnummer} displays.

These issues only occur in two spots as far as I can tell. Video above shows details.

No caching on this website, and all CSS files have been regenerated.

Hey Matt,

thanks for your report.

As it would take me an hour or two to replicate your setup (:sweat_smile:) it would be great if you could just send some temporary credentials to help@bricksbuilder.io.

Best,

After updating to 1.8.3 WP admin started working very slowly. Unable to do anything :roll_eyes:

Hey @parktechno,

thanks for your report.

Not sure why you added it as a comment to this thread though as this is a totally different topic. Please disable all plugins and see if that fixes your issue. If you’re still experiencing those issues please contact us via help@bricksbuilder.io.

Best,

André

Hi Matt,

Please let us know if you are still experiencing issues.

Fix confirmed! Thanks to you guys and Jenn for looking into it and pointing me to how I was querying the field in a less-than-ideal manner in the first place.
