[Resolved] Create a single table view with data from multiple post types

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I want to create a table structure with sort able column heads to contain data from five different post types .

Solution:

Toolset Blocks plugin is using WordPress class WP_Query to query post data, according to WP document:

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#order-orderby-parameters

In order to sort the results, all custom fields should be in same post type.

So there isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

For what you're trying to achieve, you'll need some custom code workaround.

Can you please share temporary admin login details, along with the link to a page where you'd like to show this table?

I'll be in a better position to perform some tests on my website and guide you with the next steps accordingly.

Note: Your next reply will be private and please make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.

regards,

Hello,

Toolset Blocks plugin is using WordPress class WP_Query to query post data, according to WP document:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#order-orderby-parameters
In order to sort the results, all custom fields should be in same post type.

But in your case, it is 5 different post types, so there isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, you can submit a feature request for it:
https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
Our developers will evaluate it.
