Hi,

I'm trying to set the "default_label" attributte inside the [wpv-control-item] shortcode, using the [wpv-attribute] shortcode.

Instead of the rendering value for the shortcode, it's printing the literal shortcode string (no rendering).

[wpv-control-item type="select" ancestor_type="town-to-postcode" default_label="[wpv-attribute name='town']"]  
<!-- Output in the default label text: "[wpv-attribute name='town']" , when I was expecting "Barcelona" -->

I tried too: default_label=[wpv-attribute name='town'] ( no double quotes wrapping the shortcode), but it didn't work too.

I guess the [wpv-control-item] shortcodes is not ready for it? . Any work around?

Thanks,
Miquel

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I can see that you are using old version of view. Could you please update Views plugin to it's latest official released version 1.11.1 and try to resolve your issue.

I've also tried on discover-wp.com with test site. You can see the "State" dropdown at top left side having label name "select one location" that I've passed using [wpv-attribute] shortcode and it's working fine.

[wpv-control-item type="select" ancestor_type="states" default_label="[wpv-attribute name='location']"]

This is how I passed the attribute:

[wpv-view name="search" location="select one location"]

Hi Minesh,

Finally I've done the flow in a diferent way not requiring to set the default_label.

Still I think there could be a bug somewhere as I didnt' manage to do it to work the way you did on discover-wp.com.

All the best,

Miquel
