“The ancestors attribute is missing” message when adding relationship filter to View or WPAs

Resolved

Reported for: Toolset Blocks 1.2.1

Resolved in: Toolset Blocks 1.3

Topic Tags: Toolset Blocks

Symptoms

If you create a View or custom archive using Blocks for a child post type that includes a search filter for the parent then the search block displays the message “The ancestors attribute is missing”.

That looks like an error message but is actually a prompt to choose the relevant relationship in the field settings in the sidebar.

We are changing the text to something more helpful.

But, there is a bug when attempting this with a custom archive, because you cannot select a relationship, and so cannot complete setting up the filter.

Workaround

The developers are aware of the issue and working on a solution.

  • Hi Team,

    Currently using a test site to see if this best fits to my requirement, while testing I identified the same issue and would need it for my requirement.

    Any estimated time by when we can expect the fix for this issue?

    Thanks,
    Pramod.

    • A fix for this problem will be in Blocks 1.3. We just closed the development, doing full testing and we’ll release it during July.

      • Thanks Amit, In which release can we expect ‘Display images added to custom taxonomy using term fields on single post using blocks’ ?

        Many thanks in advance 😊

        • We’ll try to include it in the next release (Blocks 1.3 is already closing development and we focused there on other features).

          • It would be really helpful if you would include the below two in the next release

            1. Display Images with the taxonomy using term fields with the blocks features.

            2. Adding Icon block feature.

            Many thanks as always

            • Yes, both these are on our near-team todo list. We’re still closing Blocks 1.3 (mainly focused on relationships and translation) and we’re reviewing what we can include in the next release.

  • Hi,

    1. When are you including in blocks ‘ Display images with Taxonomy using term fields’

    2. Adding Icons block.

    Thanks.
