Hi

I'm trying to setup a view with my events. I'd like to have only one event from each category (location) displayed ( so only 4 events to be displayed, each from different location ) ( hidden link ) Also I have this date filter not to display events older than today ( hidden link )

Is this possible

Regards

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - the best way I would suggest is to add a view with shortcode attribute filter by your taxonomy and limit the view's output to 1.

For example:

[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="chicago"]
[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="boston"]
[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="replace-term-slug"]
[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="replace-term-slug"]

I think this is the best why to deal with your requirement.

I'm not sure I follow. Shall I create 4 views for each location? I'm only allowed to enter one filter for the location - hidden link

Thank You

Well - you should create only one view and add the taxonomy filter and filter it by views shortcode attribute.
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-by-taxonomy/
[See "Value set by View shortcode attribute"]

And then add the same view 4 times with the different location slug:
For example:

[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="chicago"]
[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="boston"]
[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="replace-term-slug"]
[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="replace-term-slug"]

Yes, but I can only add one location - hidden link and I cannot save it ( hidden link ) although here it says I can separate the values using comma ( hidden link )

Thank You

Well - with the filter you shared, you do not need to add the location name but the shortcode attribute name.

For example:

[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="chicago"]

Here, shortcode attribute name is location so you need to add the location insetead of location names. Also, set your view to limit to 1 results only.

So, by adding the same view with different location slugs as given under, and each time view will display 1 results you will have 4 items with different locations.
[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="chicago"]
[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="boston"]
[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="replace-term-slug"]
[wpv-view name="view-slug" location="replace-term-slug"]

I'm using slugs but same result - hidden link

[Minesh]

Can you share problem URL where you added the view and access details?

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Can you please check now. I've added the view two times, you can add as many times as you want
=> hidden link

I can see its working - I've also adjusted the filter value:
=> hidden link

Now, it prints table headers each time so you need to add table headers before you add the first view.

Is it resolved? 🙂
