Tell us what you are trying to do?
I use Elementor to design my sites. I have the site set up in a hierarchical nature where I have custom post types with relationships and views for each level of the views. I want to integrate the views into my designs using Elementor.
So I am trying to figure out how to put a view inside of an Elementor template. I can create pages and use the shortcode, but the I am not certain how to construct the links between the views.
For example, I have a category called 'Parts'. When I click on that, it should go to a listing of subcategories. I can then click on those subcategories to go to the bottom level of the hierarchy.
I want to be able to design with Elementor and integrate the view into my design somehow.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I have read through the documentation you have about inserting an Elementor template into Gutenberg and then putting in the Toolset view, etc. The issue I am running into is that in order to build the hierarchy, I had ti use the legacy version of the views.
Is there a similar example that we can see?
I have a login for you if needed.
What is the link to your site?

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Could you please elaborate a little more on your question so I can better understand it? What would you like to have? A view to display posts or a view to display links to taxonomies such as Parts?
Keep in mind that Toolset registers an Elementor Widget for views. You can use it to insert a Toolset view inside an Elementor page/template.
I have some views I created for my site, which is hierarchical in nature. What I mean is I created three CPTs. The top level CPT has some subcategories (CPTs) within them and those subcategorical CPTs have a third level of CPTs in them.
The views I created allow the end user to navigate through them. So the end user can click on a list of top level categories, then they see the subcategories under there, etc. I used the toolset relationship functionality.
I use Elementor to design my sites. So I am trying to design the template to be used for the subcategories. I know I can simply put in the view shortcode into an Elementor page, but I cannot see how to tell WP to use that Elementor page when I navigate through the levels.
I guess I am looking for guidance on how to accomplish this.
Thank you for your feedback.
I know I can simply put in the view shortcode into an Elementor page:
You can do that, or you can use the Toolset View Widget in Elementor.
So I am trying to design the template to be used for the subcategories.
I think that you are looking to assign an Elementor template to a custom post type. As you are using Elementor Pro, please check this article from Elementor documentation hidden link
I'll remain at your disposal.
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
