[Resolved] Views button not in WPEdit

I am trying to: insert a view into a normal WordPress content post.

I expected to see: a Views button in the WPEdit WYSISYG editor.
(I get the conditional button, but am expecting to see some Views button so I just make an exsiting view show up within that post).

Instead, I got: not there.

Hi Conrad,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

The buttons should appear once our plugins are enabled. If not then there might be some custom code or plugin causing this to not appear.

Could you temporarily disable all your non-toolset plugins as a test just to ensure that this is not a plugin conflict.

Once you have done this please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

Maybe the quickest way is just to let me know what the shortcode is...

I just want this view to show up in the content of some post:
hidden link

I have that View displaying as a widget on this post:
hidden link
(it's the headlines with the thin image backgrounds)
But I need it to appear in the content, not as a widget above or below the content.

So if I know the shortcode, I probably don't even need that button to work. (Disabling all my plugins to troubleshoot is kinda hard as I have a lot of staff working).

Thanks,
Conrad

Hi Conrad,

If that is the case then you should be able to display your view like this.

[wpv-view name='my-view']

Where you will replace my-view with the slug of your view.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

While that shortcode worked, it actually didn't solve my very specific need.

Is there a php code to make a View show up in one of the WordPress template php pages, like in content.php or single.php?

For example, here is how I'm pulling in an individual post into a template .php page:
<?php
$post_id = 42222;
$queried_post = get_post($post_id);
$title = $queried_post->post_title;
echo $queried_post->post_content;
?>

...So I was hoping there's a similar way to pull a View into a template php page.

Thanks,
Conrad

Hi Conrad,

Actually yes this is possible by using the code in the link below.

Please let me know if this helps.

Hi Conrad,

Was this able to resolve the issue ?

If so please mark this ticket as resolved.

Thanks,

Sorry, I'm not good with PHP, I just copy stuff I find on sites.

Would you happen to know what that php code would look like, where the view ID is "view_id=48509"?

Thanks,
Conrad

[Shane]

Hi Conrad,

Yes this is the ID of the view 48509.

Thanks,
Shane

[Conrad]

Oh, I was hoping you'd be able to give me the php code (with the ID inserted). Thanks.

[Shane]

Hi Conrad,

No worries, the code should be

$args = array(
    'title' => 'My View name',
);
echo render_view( $args );

Replace My View Name with the actual name of your view.

Thanks,
Shane

That code worked!

I want to thank you for following my need through all the twists and turns from the original question. (We started with the View button and ended up in PHP).

I'll be sure to leave a good review!
