Topic Tag: Views API

Problem:
The issue here is that the customer wanted to filter a view of users based on the current logged in user's custom field data

Solution:

Set the view filter for this custom field to be filtered by a shortcode parameter.

Then you can follow the example below.

[wpv-view name='my-view' param="[wpv-user field='wpcf-year']"]

Now you need to replace param with the correct shortcode parameter name and the wpcf-year with the correct slug for the custom field. You should add the slug with the wpcf- prefix attached.

Problem:
Client has a View they want to render directly in a PHP template.

Solution:
Use the API function render_view, passing an array of arguments which should, at least, specify the title or name (slug) of the View, e.g.

echo render_view( array( 'name' => 'view-slug' ) );
