This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The problem here is that the user is filtering their view by a shortcode parameter, however when a shortcode is passed into the view parameter the formatting breaks.
Solution:
In order for you to do a shortcode in shortcode type setup you will need to first ensure that you're creating a content template with our Toolset plugin. The nested shortcode setup will only work with Toolset.
This is because wordpress core dropped support for using shortcodes as attributes.
A few other plugins have added support for this but if you're creating a page through wordpress core then it won't work.
This is the technical support forum for Toolset - a suite of plugins for developing WordPress sites without writing PHP.
Everyone can read this forum, but only Toolset clients can post in it. Toolset support works 6 days per week, 19 hours per day.
No supporters are available to work today on Toolset forum. Feel free to create tickets and we will handle it as soon as we are online. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello,
1) I have a custom number field which can have multiple values - post IDs of posts of the same type. (see image attached)
2) I have a view that should filter out only posts with the ID values stored in the custom field.
3) I am trying to filter the view with Post ID filter using the "Posts with IDs set by the View shortcode attribute" option (see image attached)
4) in the page I have a shortcode for the view (see image attached)
5) I have found this ticket - https://toolset.com/forums/topic/custom-field-in-filter-with-shortcode-attribute-parameter-not-working/ but I cannot get it to work. The view is not filtered and there is some bug in the syntax - possibly some brackets, quotes,...
6) If I type some real post ID in the view shortcode, the filter works just fine...
Getting desperate, could you help, please?
Thanks very much in advance
Tom
Hello, Shane,
thanks very much for your reply. Unfortunately, the shortcode (see image attached) doesn't do anything in my case. I think the syntax error [/types]"] is the cause (see image attached). Note: I have deactivated all other plugins and the error remained.
When I change the view shortcode attribute "souvisejici" to a existing postID (4742), the shortcode works as expected (see images attached)
Hi Tomas,
The credentials sent are for the wordpress backend and not to access the site. The credentials that I want are for this login bar. See Screenshot.
Without logging in there first, i'm not able to access the site.
Thanks,
Shane
