Q2) I'm not completely clear on what (1) is for?
The step 1) is creating a custom shortcode to hide some extra div, output from view's shortcode:
[wpv-layout-start] and [wpv-layout-end]
You can see it in view: hidden link
OK, I just enabled the private detail box, please provide the FTP access and wordpress credentials, also point out the problem view URL and page URL, thanks
Thanks for the details, the view in your website "Communication in last 3 months": hidden link
which should output only the post IDs as below format:
123, 456, 789
So I edit it, section "Loop Output", modified it from:
<h3>Company ID's with communication in last 90 days</h3>
[hide-it][wpv-layout-start][/hide-it]
[wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<ul class="wpv-loop js-wpv-loop">
<wpv-loop>
[wpv-post-id id="$company"]
</wpv-loop>
</ul>
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
[/wpv-no-items-found]
[hide-it][wpv-layout-end][/hide-it]
