[Resolved] Filter view by shortcode based on custom field values

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 support ticket is created 3 years, 5 months ago. There's a good chance that you are reading advice that it now obsolete.

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.
