I am trying to:
show the child post title in a parent view with the link being a url field from the child post.

I have been able to create the link but the title is standardized as "Currently HIring! Click here for details." I would like the title to the child post title instead.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link

I expected to see:
The child post title as a hyperlink to the job posting url field being used instead of the standardized text.

Instead, I got:
I tried to simply insert [wpv-post-title] but that showed too much text and no hyperlink.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

I noticed that the link "Currently Hiring! Click here for details." seems to be working on the page that you mentioned, so wondering if you've managed to make it work, after writing to us?

If you still need assistance around this, you're welcome to share temporary admin login details, so that I can see how this view and the shortcodes are set up.

Note: Your next reply will be private and though no changes will be made on your website, please make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.

Hi Celinda,

Thanks for writing back and for sharing the admin access.

In your view "Job Page Link", currently this is the content to generate the link:

[types field='job-posting' title='Currently Hiring! Click here for details.' target='_blank'][/types]

To use the child post's title as this links title/label, you can use the "[wpv-post-title]" shortcode:
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-title )

[types field='job-posting' title='[wpv-post-title]' target='_blank'][/types]

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
