Tell us what you are trying to do? I want to add company name as dynamic custom field and be able to add a link to company website that will also be added in backend

Is there any documentation that you are following? yes toolset documentation

Is there a similar example that we can see? cant find one

What is the link to your site? hidden link username demo pswd demo12 to access site

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch.

If you are using the Single Field block with your Toolset plugin you will need to use the Post Title with Link dynamic Setting, see screenshot

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

It is not going to be link from post title .
Dynamic text LinkedIn and then link it to separate LinkedIn profile for each company.
Thanks

Hello,

If the link to the LinkedIN profile was added to a custom field then you can do this.

<a href="[types field='my-url-field-slug' output='raw'][/types]">[wpv-post-title]</a>

The above code would be for if the company name is stored as the post title. If the company name is stored in another custom field, you will use the example below.

<a href="[types field='my-url-field-slug' output='raw'][/types]">[types field='my-company-field-slug' output='raw'][/types</a>

Where you will replace the field names with appropriate slugs for each.

Please let me know if this helps as this should give the desired results.

Thanks,
Shane

Ok I have fixed the Bracket issue but now link is getting site url to it rather than going to actual external url
hidden link

it should go to google.com but it is adding site url in the front ,

I have tried wysiwyg editor and same thing is happening with that, in html it is showing google.com but when i click it is adding site url to it.

Hello,

This could be because of the quotation mismatch with your code. If you have a look at my example below

<a href="[types field='my-url-field-slug' output='raw'][/types]">[types field='my-company-field-slug' output='raw'][/types]</a>

You will notice that I used a mixture of single and double quotes. The single quotes are used within the types shortcode and the double quotes wrap around them in the href attribute.

Try updating your code to match this formatting and let me know if the issue still remains.

Thanks,
Shane
