      Hi!
      I’ve got all fields showing their data on a custom post type single page except a group of fields for birthday.

      This is my code in the child-fields.php:

      piklist('field', array(
	  'type' => 'group'
	  ,'field' => 'birthday_group'
	  ,'label' => 'Birthday'
	  ,'list' => false
	  ,'attributes' => array(
    'class' => 'text'
    ,'wrapper_class' => 'birth_day'
    )
	  ,'fields' => array(
		array(
    'type' => 'select'
    ,'field' => 'birth_month'
    ,'label' => 'Month'
    ,'choices' => array(
	   '' => 'Month'
    ,'jan' => 'January'
    ,'feb' => 'February'
    ,'mar' => 'March'
    ,'apr' => 'April'
    ,'may' => 'May'
    ,'jun' => 'June'
    ,'jul' => 'July'
    ,'aug' => 'August'
    ,'sep' => 'September'
    ,'oct' => 'October'
    ,'nov' => 'November'
    ,'dec' => 'December'
    ))
		,array(
    'type' => 'select'
    ,'field' => 'birth_day'
    ,'label' => 'Day'
    ,'choices' => array(
	   '' => 'Day'
    ,'1st' => '1'
    ,'2nd' => '2'
    ,'3rd' => '3'
    ,'4th' => '4'
    ,'5th' => '5'
    ,'6th' => '6'
    ,'7th' => '7'
    ,'8th' => '8'
    ,'9th' => '9'
    ,'10th' => '10'
    ,'11th' => '11'
    ,'12th' => '12'
    ,'13th' => '13'
    ,'14th' => '14'
    ,'15th' => '15'
    ,'16th' => '16'
    ,'17th' => '17'
    ,'18th' => '18'
    ,'19th' => '19'
    ,'20th' => '20'
    ,'21st' => '21'
    ,'22nd' => '22'
    ,'23rd' => '23'
    ,'24th' => '24'
    ,'25th' => '25'
    ,'26th' => '26'
    ,'27th' => '27'
    ,'28th' => '28'
    ,'29th' => '29'
    ,'30th' => '30'
    ,'31st' => '31'
    ))
    ,array(
    'type' => 'select'
    ,'field' => 'birth_year'
    ,'label' => 'Year'
    ,'choices' => array(
	   '' => 'Year'
    ,'1997' => '1997'
    ,'1998' => '1998'
    ,'1999' => '1999'
    ,'2000' => '2000'
    ,'2001' => '2001'
    ,'2002' => '2002'
    ,'2003' => '2003'
    ,'2004' => '2004'
    ,'2005' => '2005'
    ,'2006' => '2006'
    ,'2007' => '2007'
    ,'2008' => '2008'
    ,'2009' => '2009'
    ,'2010' => '2010'
    ,'2011' => '2011'
    ,'2012' => '2012'
    ,'2013' => '2013'
    ,'2014' => '2014'
    ,'2015' => '2015'
    ,'2016' => '2016'
    ,'2017' => '2017'
    ,'2018' => '2018'
    ,'2019' => '2019'
    ,'2020' => '2020'
    )))
  ));

      And this is what I have in the template:

      <li>Birthday: <strong><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'birth_month', true); ?> <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'birth_day', true); ?>, <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'birth_year', true); ?></strong></li>

      @intrepidrealist Grouped fields are stored as serialized data within the main group field.

      There are two ways you can get at the data you want.

      1. Remove the line ,'field' => 'birthday_group' and it will store the fields in the group as individual post_meta fields. That would be a simple solution and your code for display above should work.

      2. Access the data within ‘birthday_group’ and unserialize it. From there you’ll be able to access the individual elements.

      $birthday = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'birthday_group',true);
$birthday = maybe_unserialize($birthday); // a nice WordPress function that checks if the content is actually serialized data
echo $birthday['birth_month'].' ';
echo $birthday['birth_day'].', ';
echo $birthday['birth_year'];
