Problem:
I don't understand how to use the render_view_template API function. If I use render_view_template(999999, $postid), where 999999 is the post ID of the template and $postid is the ID of the post to display within the template, is that correct?

Solution:
To render a view template for a post ID, first retrieve the post object using get_post($post_id), then use render_view_template($view_template_id, $post). Example:

$post_id = 123; // Replace with your actual post ID
$view_template_id = 456; // Replace with your actual view template ID

$post = get_post($post_id);

if ($post) {
    echo render_view_template($view_template_id, $post);
} else {
    echo "Post not found.";
}

Is it possible to have two instances of a repeating field in the dashboard to show the customers they can add more than one entry?

Solution:

No, but you can use the PLACEHOLDER feature to add a description that the customer can add more entries:

How to sort or orderby view's results with view's shortcode attribute (ids)

Solution:
You can use the view's filter hook "wpv_filter_query" to set the orderby query argument on fly.
