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.

The customer wants to insert a search form created with Toolset into the homepage of their site built with Divi. They have followed documentation for Gutenberg, but it is not applicable for Divi without losing their work. Additionally, they want to display search results in multiple columns instead of a single large column.
Solution:
To insert the search form into the Divi homepage, use the "wpv-view" shortcode:
[wpv-form-view name="View 1" target_id="123"]
Replace '123' with the ID of the page where search results should appear. Use the following shortcode on the results page:
[wpv-view name="View 1" view_display="layout"]
In the Divi editor, use a text or shortcode widget to place these shortcodes.
Problem:
The customer is using the WPML plugin to translate their website and encountering two major issues:
1- Images are not being displayed on some pages.
2- URLs are automatically adding a "." at the end, leading to 404 errors.
Solution:
1- URL Issue:
I identified and removed the extra character causing the URL issue by editing the view translation.
This resolved the broken links.
2- Image Display Issue:
The issue was caused by malformed HTML, specifically the custom HTML used to insert left and right arrow buttons in the sliders.
The Advanced Translation Editor was encoding the HTML tags, breaking the display.
Two possible workarounds were suggested: using actual Toolset components or registering the arrows as shortcodes.
I implemented the second workaround with the help of our 2nd tier support:
- Added a shortcode to functions.php to register the custom widget:
- Registered the glide_arrows shortcode in Toolset settings.
- Edited the template containing the sliders and replaced the div with the arrow buttons with the [glide_arrows] shortcode.
This resolved the issue with the images.
Problem:
The customer wants to add shapes to a map rendered by Toolset. They have geoCoordinates and wish to use the Google Maps addJSON feature but encounter difficulties because the map is already rendered by the time they can access it with JavaScript.
Solution:
I recommended using the js_event_wpv_addon_maps_init_map_completed event listener to run scripts when the map is rendered. An example was provided to adapt for adding a background color to a map area after rendering.
Upon trying the provided code, the customer encountered errors in the JS console and the shapes did not render as expected. Further investigation and temporary site access were requested to diagnose and resolve the issue. However, the customer was able to move forward with the original reference and resolved their issue.
Problem:
The customer reported that updating filter values triggers the fade effect, but the posts remain unchanged. This issue occurs on their articles and ebooks pages. Solution:
To troubleshoot, we requested temporary admin login details and permission to create a staging version of the site for debugging. After initial investigations and involving our 2nd tier support, we created a new view for the Articles post type with an Ajax-enabled category filter. This view worked as expected without the customizations. We replicated this setup on the production site, creating an alternative view (Alt Articles) and recommended that the customer gradually apply their customizations to identify the step causing the issue.
Problem:
The customer wants to make an entire box clickable, specifically the contents of the Content Template, on a WordPress archive. They tried wrapping the entire
