Is there any update for when the 'sanitize' option to output slugs will work for wpv-post-title (and other fields)? The last support ticket I can see on this was 2015 and since then the advice has been to use shortcodes instead of fixing the 'sanitize' function so slugs can be output.

Hi Orla,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Could you provide a bit of clarity on what you mean. Possibly providing a link to the ticket from 2015.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Orla,

Thank you for the ticket.

Based on this I was able to find the issue on our system. Right now the developers won't be approving this feature request.

This is due to us having a shortcode that you can use to get the slug of the page [wpv-post-slug] . This can be used to get the post title in an essentially sanitized format.

However the custom code that was provided in the link should still function as intended.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks Shane - I'll make note of that. In feedback, it is a poor user experience that the sanitize feature doesn't work - it should be either removed or a note added to say that the shortcode should be used instead. Troubleshooting issues like this wastes time for both the end user and your support team. Thank you again for your help.
