Greetings. I am using the legacy editor to create a custom search view. I wish the post type to have different HTML output so I used wpv-conditional shortcode to decide output which template.
However, I noticed the content template in view would override the single content template after editing every time. Is that possible to limit the content template to only used as the loop block for the View?
I created those templates through the legacy view but only one of them is locked for view only.
Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Can you please share problem URL and what are the exact steps that I can follow in order to see the issue.
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
Thank you for sharing admin access details but the shared admin access details not working at this end.
Can you please send me working admin access details.

So, I've created the following test view namely "toolset-test-view" and used the "Loop Wizard" to create content template and added the fields:
- hidden link
It created the "Loop item in toolset-test-view" content template attached to the view "toolset-test-view".
- hidden link
When I edit the content template "Loop item in toolset-test-view" it stays attached to the view "toolset-test-view":
- hidden link
When you have multiple content template with such customizations it seems that is why you see the content template is unassigned or its not a "Loop Item in" content template.
I understand your example. However, I need to use multiple content templates for showing different HTML and CSS conditionally.
I think it's the only way to show multiple post types with different styles.
Will there be a solution for assigning multiple loop blocks to one view, or at least preventing post usage from overwriting another template?
Sorry, I think you may not fully understand what I mean.
What I am trying to say is that even when creating a content template in the view, only the first template created will be attached to the view. Other templates created later will display "No Post types/Taxonomies assigned" on the Content Templates page and won't be categorized under it.
Additionally, when editing other templates that are used in the view but are not assigned, it will take over what other templates have already been assigned. This results in having to manually reset the usage of each template every time after modifications and saving.
I think the fact that "only the first content template can be properly categorized into a view's loop block" is extremely inconvenient, and I even consider this a bug. It's unreasonable because, in the same view, it clearly allows you to assign multiple templates, but in reality, only the first created content template gets bound. This issue leads to a very unsatisfactory user experience.
I totally understand what you mean but currently how is works is as expected. As you shared, we can improve as you said but that would be a new feature request and you can raise a new feature request using the following link:
- https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
The feature request you will file will be handled by concern person and if approved it will be passed to our Devs and our Devs will then work on it in order to add this feature. Please note that there is no ETA on it.
