[wpv-random] does NOT work in Toolset Blocks Views
When I insert the shortcode in a Blocks View (Loop Editor or Output Editor), the shortcode is printed literally and not executed.
I cannot find any option to switch the View to Classic Mode
According to older documentation and forum posts, there should be a link “Switch to Classic Editor” when creating a new View.
But in my installation, this link does not appear anywhere.
3. When I try to paste my HTML into the Loop Editor, I get this error:
The Loop cannot be saved because some required elements are missing or are present more than once.
[wpv-layout-start] is missing or malformed.
[wpv-items-found] is missing or malformed.
<!-- wpv-loop-start --> is missing or malformed.
<wpv-loop> is missing or malformed.
</wpv-loop> is missing or malformed.
<!-- wpv-loop-end --> is missing or malformed.
[/wpv-items-found] is missing or malformed.
[wpv-layout-end] is missing or malformed.
This confirms that the View is still using the Blocks engine, not the Classic engine.
What I need
I need to create a Classic View (the old PHP‑based View editor), because that is the only environment where:
[wpv-random] works
custom HTML in the Loop Output works
conditional shortcodes work correctly
But I cannot find any way to switch to Classic Mode in the current interface.
My question
Can you please tell me:
How can I enable or access the Classic View editor in the current version of Toolset?
Is the Classic View editor still available?
If not, how can I execute [wpv-random] inside a View in the current system?
Thanks in advance — I really need this functionality for dynamic internal linking.
