I have search results that return two different post types.

I can print the post type using [wpv-post-type] and view it OK

However when I tried to conditionally show segments based on post type it does not work.

I'm assuming it should be something like:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpv-post-type) eq 'org' )" debug="true"] 
<div>
  OUTPUT
</div>
[/wpv-conditional]

But this does not work.

The debug output is:

####################
wpv-conditional attributes
####################
Array
(
    [if] => ( $(wpv-post-type) = 'org' )
    [debug] => true
)

####################
Debug information
####################
--------------------
Original expression: ( $(wpv-post-type) = 'org' )
--------------------
--------------------
Converted expression: ( '' = 'org' )
--------------------

Hello,

The variable "$" in wpv-conditional shortcode works only for the custom post field, in your case, you can use shortcode [wpv-post-type] directly, for example:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-type]' eq 'org' )" debug="true"] 
<div>
  OUTPUT
</div>
[/wpv-conditional]
