I have built a grid using visual composer grid builder I have added Post Author to the grid using visual composer fields and views but the Post Authors name is not showing on the front end - am doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi, I don't see anything obviously wrong here. Try adding some text before and after the author name shortcode to make sure that text appears where you expect it. I would also try adding the wpv-post-title shortcode to verify the post title is accurate in this context. If this doesn't reveal the problem, I may need to take a closer look. What code are you using to display the image in each grid item?

So I tried adding text and that showed. I tried adding WP Title [wpv-post-title] and that did not show. So it seems like the Toolset shortcodes are somehow not showing up.

The image is being displayed by Using the Grid Item settings in the Visual Composer grid editor.

Thanks

Don't worry I figured out how to do the whole thing with views instead.

By the way is there any documentation anywhere that can show me how to:

1) Create a hover effect (like a colored overlay) over a featured image in my Views Grid (built with Bootstrap)
2) Make the Featured Image open in popup with when clicked
3) Show a zoom icon when hovering featured image

Thanks!

Hi, usually this type of image popup effect is achieved with an additional "lightbox" style plugin. I'm not aware of any documentation here on the Toolset site, but you may be able to find another plugin that offers this feature and includes tutorials for implementation. If you're able to set it up on your site with static image tags, then we can show you how to integrate Types images into that HTML structure. Feel free to open a new ticket to discuss this approach.
