[Resolved] View to display sibling posts not working

Hi,
I have a CPT called "sermons", where some sermons are combined into series, and some are just individual sermons.

Therefore, I built and advanced layout that displays the sermons field when it is a single sermon, while displays a view showing the series when it is a series. this is done using conditionals and checkboxs.

the series is defined by a tag. so the series parts will have the same tag, and the view is based on the tag.

All is working perfectly fine.

now i wanted to display a section in the layout that shows info about the series.
so the post is a part of a series, i want to show:
1- a sentence saying: this sermon is part of the series: [parent post title with link]
2- a view showing the post title with link of the other parts in the series.

I was able to achieve #1 easily using the Toolset documentation.

but for #2, I followed the tutorial in this page:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/displaying-brother-pages/

but i end with "no items found"

please check this post:
hidden link

the fact that #1 shows (under the youtube video), means that the parent-child relationship works.

what i did is:
- created a content template called: Series Loop
- created a view called: Series List of Children
- added this to the template:

[wpv-view name="series-list-of-children"]

- in the series of children, i used the filter: Select posts whose parent is the current post in the loop.
- then in the sermons CPT i added

[wpv-post-body view_template="series-loop"]

but i end up with no items found.

can you please advise what information you need to spot the problem?

thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - are you filtering your view with any filter options - is it possible for you to send me access details so that I can check your current setup and guide you in right direction.

Additionally - which posts should be shown within the view instead of "no items found" message.

*** 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 would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Unfortunately - wp-admin access details you shared is not working at this end. Could you please send me working wp-admin access details.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Hi Minesh,

Very sorry about this.
I fixed this issue and the credentials I sent in the previous private message are now valid. please try again.
the login screen is in Arabic, but just copy and pasted the lonig details and you will have an admin access to the site, in English.
thanks

I see you are using hierarchical post structure where you set parent and child posts.

I've changed your view's query filter and set to filter by view's shortcode attribute as given under:

[wpv-view name="series-list-of-children" wpvchildof="[wpv-post-id id='$parent']"] 

I've changed the Query filter to:

 المرشح الرئيسي للمنشور
Select posts that are children of the Post with ID set by the shortcode attribute wpvchildof.
eg. [wpv-view name="view-name" wpvchildof="123"]

Now - if you can visit the post: hidden link

I can see the another post - could you please confirm.
