I am trying to: use the "fields and text" field to display a shortcode that shows some dynamic content

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
1) hidden link
2) hidden link

I expected to see: the term appear, but its just blank

Instead, I got: hidden link

Hi,

The shortcode "wpv-post-taxonomy" shows the taxonomy term items, attached to the current post in the loop or in the content template:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-taxonomy

To show the current taxonomy archive's title, you can use the "wpv-taxonomy-title" shortcode, instead:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#wpv-taxonomy-title

regards,
Waqar

You're very welcome.

While Toolset shortcodes may work in other blocks too, it is best to use the "Fields and Text" block.
