Hi,

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

To show the title/name of the files from the audio and file type custom fields, you'll need a custom shortcode.

You'll find good usage examples along with the custom code, in these support threads:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/display-attachment-title-in-button-for-multiple-attached-files/

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar

Thanks for writing back.

Can you please share temporary admin login details, along with the details of the steps that you've already tried?

I'll be in a better position to guide you with the next steps, accordingly.

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

The login info works, thank you.

However, this temporary user doesn't have the "administrator" role and I can't access the Toolset features and settings.

Can you please change this user's role to the "administrator"?

Thank you for enabling the admin access.

I tested the shortcode from the other support forum ticket ( ref: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/displaying-file-title-with-a-link-for-custom-field-for-manuals-etc/#post-1667641) on your website and it seems to be working, as expected.

1. I've added the custom code in a snippet named "test" at WP Admin -> Toolset -> Settings -> Custom Code.

2. Next, in the "Custom Body" template for the meetings at WP Admin -> Divi -> Theme Builder, I placed this new shortcode for the "files" and the "audio" fields, like this:
( screenshot: hidden link )


[my_file_name types_field="files"]
<br>
[my_file_name types_field="audio"]

3. You'll see that the link titles from the files from both these fields are now showing on the "May 2022" meeting page.

Thank you so much! Is there a way to hide the top two items since they are repeated below?
