[Resolved] Removing markup from records output to a table

Hello, I am building a table of information related to a custom post type, "Program Episodes," which you can view here:

hidden link

The table is built using a View.

The column for Programmers is giving me some difficulty. Because Programmers (post type Person, taxonomy term Host) are not directly connected to Program Episodes (Programmers are connected to Programs, which are in turn connected to Program Episodes), I had to use a content template that includes a view that looks up the Host of the Program that is related to the current Episode record in the loop. (I tried to include the actual view in the loop, but it returned empty.

How can I remove the "<div id="wpv-view-layout-..." markup that surrounds the data I need? This needs to be a clean table for the csv export to work, and the markup is breaking it.

I've included some screenshots to illustrate; if you need backend access, I'm happy to create an account.

Thank you.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I see you are using the custom search and when you are using custom search with pagination or sorring the markup you mention is required to see custom search works as expected.

If you are just listing the posts (without custom search), then you can checkmark the checkbox "Disable the wrapping DIV around the View" available at bottom of your view's page.

Thank you! I spent so much time trying out various attributes on the shortcode, I missed that simple checkbox!

Maybe you do not get me well and I've to re-open the ticket.

I was saying:

I see you are using the custom search and when you are using custom search with pagination or sorring the markup you mention is required to see custom search works as expected.

So, even though the "Disable the wrapping DIV around the View" is there, you should not be able to use it as you have custom search view.

If you check and try to filter the results it will not work on frontend using date filters because you checkmark the checkbox "Disable the wrapping DIV around the View" and you should not use that with custom search.

You can use "Disable the wrapping DIV around the View" only when you are just listing or displaying content without any search field (custom search).
