Tell us what you are trying to do? Creating links to download PDF product literature. I want the PDF Title name to display, not the link url.

Is there any documentation that you are following? No

Is there a similar example that we can see? Yes

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There is no native way to display the uploaded fiel/pdf title but there is workaround.

Please try to add the following code to your current theme's functions.php file
or
"Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/

add_shortcode( 'display_file', 'func_display_file_info');
function func_display_file_info($atts) {
global $wpdb;

$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
 'url' => '',
'info' => '', // title, alt or id return
), $atts);

$res = '';
$url = $atts['url'];
$attachment_id = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare(
"SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE guid = %s", $url
));

if($atts['info'] == 'title'){
 return  get_the_title($attachment_id);
}

if($atts['info'] == 'alt'){
return  get_post_meta($attachment_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true);
}

if($atts['info'] == 'id'){
return $attachment_id;
}

}

Once you added the above code, you can add the following code to your content teplate or view where you are currently displaying your PDF links.

[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-YOUR-FIELD-SLUG"]
<a href='[types field="YOUR-FIELD-SLUG"  raw="true"][/types]' > 
[display_file info="title" url="[types field='YOUR-FIELD-SLUG' raw='true'][/types]"]
</a>
[/wpv-for-each]

Where:
- Replace YOUR-FIELD-SLUG with your original field slug

This worked perfectly. Now I'm trying to add separator='<br> ' or unordered list because there are multiple download links that need to be on seperate lines for organization. I've tried to insert this in a couple places, but I can't get it to work.

Well - you should add the separator to your wpv-for-each loop.

For example:

[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-YOUR-FIELD-SLUG"]
<a href='[types field="YOUR-FIELD-SLUG"  raw="true"][/types]' > 
[display_file info="title" url="[types field='YOUR-FIELD-SLUG' raw='true'][/types]"]  <br />
</a>
[/wpv-for-each]

Got it. I was adding separator='<br> '

Thank you!
