Tell us what you are trying to do? I've copied a previous view and added it to a layout, but the list content isn't displaying, instead I'm seeing a shortcode.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see? I'd like the "Doctors accepting patients for Weight Management" to function in the same way that "Doctors accepting patients for IUD Insertions does"

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Hi Chris,

Thank you for getting in touch.

I'm actually not seeing any view shortcode on this page.

What I'm seeing is [doctors_list_weight_management]

I'm assuming the above is what you are trying to render the view with correct?

If so then you are using the incorrect shortcode. The correct format should be [wpv-view name="My amazing custom post list"]

So you will replace "My amazing custom post list" with the name of your view.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Thanks Shane!

I've changed the setup to match what you suggested, I'm now getting "no items found" listed under "Doctors accepting patients for Weight Management", even though I have Dr. Ankit Vakil marked as accepting for that service.

As I mentioned in my first message, I have this view setup the same as the Botox and IUD Insertion views, and those appear to be working as they should.

Do you have any suggestions why the Weight Management view might be returning a "no items found" error?

Hi Chris,

This is perhaps being caused by the filter that is on the view.

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the website so that I can have a look at this for you ?

Hi Chris,

Ok so I took a look at your website and your plugins are really outdated. Based on the filter your view should return a result but it could be a bug in this version of the plugin.

I would highly recommend that you perform a full update of your wordpress install as well as your plugins so that you can benefit from all the security updates that has been made by the wordpress team as well as from other plugin developers.

Once you have done this please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane
