I have a page here:

enlace oculto

You can see the associated downloads in the sidebar which are files displayed via shortcode. How do I display the title of the media item instead of the URL? My current shortcode is:

[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-posts-downloads"]
<p>[types field='posts-downloads' link='true' separator=''][/types]
</p>
[/wpv-fo

regards,

David

Hi David,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I took a look at this for you and it seems the shortcode itself is not able to display the title .
However you can define a custom title when you are using the Title attribute for the shortcode.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Correct me if I am wrong but then the title would be the same for all of the files as they are looped through. Is that right? If so I need a way to set the title for each of the files as they are looped through by the wpv-for-each loop.

Hi David,

Yes that is correct.

Will the information be added through CRED ? or any frontend means or is it that the information will be created through the backend.

There might be an alternative for this if the information is done through the backend.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi David,

The best thing I can recommend is to use a child cpt to hold the files.

This way you can easy display the file title as well as the file itself. Take a look at the link below where Luo was assisting a custom with a similar issue.

Hi Shane,

I thought you might say that. I hoped there was an easier way but so be it.

Thanks for your help.
