    I have created the followimg metabox using the builder but I am having problems when trying to display on frontend.

    Metabox

    https://ghostbin.com/paste/gb8nr

    Frontend

    $values = rwmb_meta( 'cellclasses' );
foreach ( $values as $value ) {
    echo $value;
}

    This is the message I get on frontend:

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

    Is there a problem because grouping the Select Advanced fields or is there some other problem here?

    Hi Ale,

    You're calling the field cellclasses, which is a sub-field of a group style. So the function rwmb_meta returns nothing, thus the next foreach loop doesn't work.

    You should get the value of the group style first, then get the value of sub-field. Like this:

    $style = rwmb_meta( 'style' );
$cell_classes = isset( $style['cellclasses'] ) ? $style['cellclasses'] : array();
foreach ( $cell_classes as $cell_class ) {
    echo $cell_class;
}

    Thanks so much Anh, I didn't know that groups will affect how to display fields on the website.
    Now works very well.

    One more thing is that when adding multiple keys/values to select advanced the Metabox Builder does not create an array but a unique value, if I input the following on the options field:

    Red: red
    Yellow: yellow
    Blue: blue

    The Buuilder creates this and not an array:

    'options' => 'Red: red
Yellow: yellow
Blue: blue',

    Hi Ale,

    I've just checked the options for select_advanced field, looks like it's buggy when put in groups. I'll fix that.

    Anh - note that it's not just select_advanced that is buggy when added to a group. It's also the regular select field that shows the same behavior when placed into a group using Builder. Perhaps fixing one will fix the other. Just wanted to make sure you knew it was both field types that did this.

    Yes, it happens for all choice fields. The problem is the Builder doesn't process sub-fields. We're trying to fix that.
