Problem: I have a one-to-many relationship between Organizzate (parent) and Consuntivi (child). I have several custom fields on the Organizzate post, including a repeatable field group (RFG). On the Consuntivi post Content Template, I would like to display the custom fields from the parent Organizzate post, as well as a View of RFG from the parent Organizzate post.
Solution: To display custom fields of the parent post, you should use the Types field syntax like this:
To display a View of RFG from the parent post, set up the View's post relationship filter to respond to a shortcode attribute "wpvrelatedto". Then use the wpv-post-id shortcode to set the value of that shortcode attribute, like this:
Problem: I have a generic field in a Form where Users can select from different post authors. It works fine in a new post Form, but in an edit post Form the select field does not display the selected value.
Solution: Use the wpv-post-author shortcode to pass the correct ID into the default attribute.
Problem: I have some post relationships custom code in place on my site, and the migration process indicates that it may cause problems.
Solution: It's a good idea to check with support for migrating relationship code. This code should be okay, because we built in backwards compatibility for this particular case.
Problem: I would like to filter the options shown in the Post Relationship field in the post editor screen. Only the current User's posts should be shown here.
Solution: There is not a good way to do this in wp-admin, but you can use generic fields in CRED to accomplish something similar.
- Create a CRED form to add posts and insert a generic select field
- Create a View of posts, filtered by author, where the author is the current User
- In the Loop Output editor, insert this code to replace the default wpv-loop tags:
- Change 12345 to match the ID of the View
- Change 67890, 98765 to be a comma-separated list of CRED form IDs (your edit and add CRED forms)
- Place the View of posts inside the options of the generic select field:
Problem: I have two custom post types in a parent/child relationship. On the child single post Content Template, I include some information from the parent post by inserting another Content Template. Then after the parent post information I want to show custom fields from the child post. However, the custom fields do not appear, and the post context appears to remain the parent post.
Solution: Instead of inserting the parent post Content Template directly into the child post Content Template, use a View filtered by post ID, supplied by a shortcode attribute. Then insert your parent post Content Template in the Loop Output of this nested View.
Problem:
How to display a term field from a taxonomy term assigned to a parent post?
Solution:
It is only possible with custom code. The following code registers a custom shortcode for this purpose. It is necessary to supply attributes for the field slug, the slug of the parent post type, and the slug of the taxonomy.
/**
* Display term field from parent post
*/
function parent_post_term_field_sc( $atts ){
global $post;
// Get id of parent post
$parent_post_id = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_wpcf_belongs_' . $atts['parent-slug'] . '_id', true );
// Get ID of taxonomy term assigned to parent post
$term_id = wp_get_post_terms( $parent_post_id, $atts['tax-slug'], array( 'fields' => 'ids' ) );
// Output the required field for that term
return types_render_termmeta( $atts['field'], array( 'term_id' => $term_id[0] ) );
}
add_shortcode( 'parent-post-term-field', 'parent_post_term_field_sc' );
// Use like so by passing required attributes
[parent-post-term-field field="field-slug" tax-slug="tax-slug" parent-slug="parent-post-slug"]
Problem: I uploaded a transparent PNG image to a custom field. When I try to display the image at a smaller size, the transparent background turns black.
Solution: In this case, the problem appears to be related to the original image encoding. Re-exporting the PNG file from Preview on a Mac fixed the issue.
Problem: I would like to create a taxonomy archive that shows information about the current term, including some custom fields, outside the loop of posts. I would also like to include some information about the term, including custom fields, inside the loop. I would like to build this page with Divi Builder.
Solution: Create a WordPress Archive for this taxonomy. Create two Content Templates - one for the content above the loop (Content Template 1) and one for the content in the loop (Content Template 2).
Edit Content Template 1 with Divi Builder. Insert shortcodes to display information about the current term, including custom fields. There is currently a bug in the beta plugins that prevents you from inserting term fields in a WordPress Archive directly.
Edit Content Template 2 with Divi Builder. Insert shortcodes to display the information about each post in the loop. If you need to display information about the current term, use the wpv-taxonomy-archive shortcode:
