Views is a WordPress plugin that lets you easily display content on your website's front-end in any way you choose.
Views User Guides include detailed documentation for creating lists of content, templates for content and archive page and also explain how to create parametric searches for any content type.
When you ask for help or report issues, make sure to tell us the versions of the Toolset plugins that you have installed and activated.

Problem: I would like to prevent search results from appearing until a custom search filter is added.
Solution: Use our PHP Views Filter API wpv_filter_query_post_process to drop a View's results until some meta_query is added. The following custom code can be used as a template:
/**
* No initial results until a filter has been applied
* Tests for one specific custom field search filter
* Reference: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-disable-the-search-in-view-using-blank/
*/
function tssupp_no_initial_results( $query_results, $view_settings, $view_id ){
$target_views = array( 123, 456 );
$field_slug = 'field-slug';
// you should not edit below this line
if ( in_array( $view_id, $target_views ) ) {
// blank search indicates just blank space in the filter
$blank_search = isset($query_results->query['meta_query']) && sizeof($query_results->query['meta_query']) == 2 && $query_results->query['meta_query'][0]['key'] == 'wpcf-'.$field_slug && trim($query_results->query['meta_query'][0]['value']) == '';
// if there is no search term set, drop all results
if ( !isset( $query_results->query['meta_query'] ) || $blank_search ) {
$query_results->posts = array();
$query_results->post_count = 0;
$query_results->found_posts = 0;
}
}
return $query_results;
}
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query_post_process', 'tssupp_no_initial_results', 10, 3 );
Problem: I have a custom post type and a repeatable field group (RFG) in that custom post type. I would like to create a list of all the custom posts and in that list show a list of the RFGs associated with that post.
Solution: This requires a nested View structure. Since it is not possible to create a nested View in Blocks, you must use the legacy Views editor. The process is outlined in another ticket.
