I used Snippet to place the PHP in my theme to call the shortcode
I created a new custom field called About Me Excerpt and put this shortcode in the default value [trimfield length="100" more="Read more..." field="about-me" postid="[wpv-post-id]"] and included it in a post form.
I hid the custom field from displaying with HTML.
I tried to add the custom field to a view but it comes up empty.
btw. i have a truly dumb question. I am reading lots of tickets and they all say pass the short code in your view. Where exactly do you do this? Thanks.
Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the site so that I can have a look at this issue for you.
I've enabled the private fields for your next response. Also please let me know the page where you are testing out the shortcode and the WYSIWYG field.

For me to answer this I will need a little more context about the shortcode and what you are doing with it in order to provide an accurate answer.
Shane, I did follow that course. and it will not work. (see the my account page as logged in. It works fine, when I am logged in (but it shows me all custom posts because I am the admin. when I log out as me and try to log in as a user, then nothing displays when they look at" their "my account page
As for the excerpt, I tried to call it in the content template that is in the view on the my account page. Thanks so much
The first issue is with the correct producer profile showing. I'm seeing where you've created all the producer's profile. The only way to make this work and filter correctly is to allow each user to create their own profile so they become the author and then we can use the filter to sort them by the current user. So only the current user's profile will show.
Secondly the trimming of the text should now work.
Shane, thanks so much. I am going to change the author and test it. For the trimming, I am super greatful that you fixed it, but can you please tell me what you fixed - so I can learn to do it on my own? Thanks so much
All I did was to test the code itself and modify it slightly so that it can get the correct values, also you were using the incorrect slug for the wysiwyg field so I had to change it to the correct one.
If you check the code you can see the changes that i've made.
Thanks,
Shane
