I have written a view (of a custom post type) and have it appearing within the single post template of that post type.

I need it to filter by the current post so that it only shows information from that single post (and not the other posts of that type).

Not sure why I can't work it out, but I can't. Thanks in advance!

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for getting in touch.

To resolve this you will need to go to your view and add a Query filter for the Post ID. Then set it to filter by shortcode attribute. See Screenshots.

Then when you add your view to your post with the shortcode you will add it like this.

[wpv-view name='my-view' ids='[wpv-post-id]']

What i'm doing is to pass the current post ID into the view so that it can be filtered.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
