Hi, my problem possibly is so easy to solve that I did'nt find anything about it in the documentation:
I managed to create complicated views with several items of a custom post type, wonderful.
But what is the shortcode to insert only one specific post??
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards, Rita
Please do answer soon! This is stopping me in the tracks. I have been able to show lists of customs posts with views, templates etc. the way I wanted them. That was fine.
But I can't figure out how to show only a single post (like 'apple' with image, title and description of this custom post) in another post. Do I have to create a special view for that? This would be a lot of work if I want to write some text in a post, then enter a single custom post ('apple'), then write some text, then create another view especially for 'banana' etc. And how can I chose the title of the post I want to show in a view? I don't find anything about that. It does not have an ID (where could I find that?)
So lets say you have 1 post called fruit and another called apple. Are fruits and apples related through Types relationships?
I need a little more information on the relationship to point you in the right direction because it can be as simple as passing the ID of the post you want to the view or setting up the view filters for a Parent/Child relationship.
Hi Shane, 'fruit' is the custom post type, 'apple' is the post, as well as 'banana' or 'peach'. I can build a view, showing all fruits perfectly.
But what if I want to show only one specific post ('apple') from the 'fruits' post type? How can I embed the 'apple' into a page, for example? I don't have an ID-Number and there is no field called 'post title' where I can chose the 'apple' post to embed it.
I expect something like [wpv-post='apple' + featured image + title + description or wpv-post-id='123456' + featured image + title + description] to embed this specific custom post with image, title and text into my page. It can't be that I have to create a view to show a simple post? I don't find a post id-number. This is a quite straightforward question, so please don't make it too complicated - I just want to show ONE custom post!! How?
