This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a View that is set up to display related child posts. It works on the parent post page, but I would like to display the View on a different page. When I move the View, it doesn't work.
Solution: Duplicate the View and modify the Query Filter to respond to a URL parameter or a shortcode attribute instead of the post where the View is shown. Pass the correct parent post ID into the View using a URL param or a shortcode attribute.

Hi, if you want to place the View on a separate post or page, then you need a way to define the parent Partner. As it is configured now, the View's post relationship filter is set to respond to the post where this View is shown. Instead, you need a filter that responds to a URL parameter. I would duplicate this View first. Then in the duplicate, choose the appropriate Query Filter option for URL parameter (screenshot) and place this new View on the view-supporters page. Then you must create links to the View Supporters page with the Partner ID encoded in the URL parameter, like this:
<em><u>hidden link</u></em>
When the page loads, the View filter will only show those Supporters related to Partner 1688 - Chris. If you want to create a link from Chris's post, you would add something like this in the Partner template:
<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>;">See Supporters for Partner [wpv-post-title]</a>
Let me know if you have questions about this.
The sortable table headers are displaying but the loop isn't.
It looks like the loop template was commented out for some reason (see screenshot). I removed the comment tags and I can see results now. Check and let me know if the results are what you expect.
<!-- this is a comment. nothing between these tags will be shown on the screen -->
But another thing, I realized I'd like to have the My Supporters page viewable only to the author assigned to the Partner post.
Our support policy is one issue per ticket, to help keep the forum organized. I'm splitting this into a separate ticket where we can discuss in more detail. Thanks for understanding.
