Hi,
I have read the input:
https://toolset.com/2013/10/how-to-group-views-results-by-year-and-month/

I would work fine if I would use the post-date. Unfortunately I have a custom field also in a date format.
I just need final help how to call the shortcode in the right syntax. This is my approach that doesn' work:

[heading condition="month" value="[types field='lesedatum' format='F'][/types]"]<h5>[types field='lesedatum' style='text' format='F'][/types]</h5>[/heading]

Any idea?

Hello,

I have tried it in my localhost, it works fine, and I am using below shortcodes insider view's loop:

[heading condition="year" value="[types field='lesedatum' format='Y'][/types]"]
<h4>[types field='lesedatum' format='Y'][/types]</h4>
[/heading]
  
[heading condition="month" value="[types field='lesedatum' format='F'][/types]"]
<h5>[types field='lesedatum' format='F'][/types]</h5>
[/heading]
  
<h4>[wpv-post-title] [types field="lesedatum"][/types]</h4>

OK. THX
so after I took out the statement: style='text' from my [types] it worked super.
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
