Hi,

I've added a single field quering the post type in a view, but that shows the post type slug. I would rather have it display the post type's "name singular", since I can edit that in Toolset's settings. Can't edit the slug for pages and posts.

See this video for clarification: hidden link. The red marked slug is what shows now, and the green marked name singular is what I want to show.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Instead of using the single field block - Can you please try to add the shortcode's or "Fields and Text" block and to that you should add the following shortcode:

[wpv-post-type show="single"]

More info:
