Problem: I have a nested View structure showing a loop of child terms nested inside a loop of parent terms. I would like to display the parent term name only if that parent term has existing child terms. The wpv-post-taxonomy shortcode doesn't seem to be working correctly.
Solution:
The wpv-post-taxonomy shortcode is intended for use in the context of a post, like a View of posts or a single post. When you're working inside the wpv-loop tags of a View of a taxonomy you should use the wpv-taxonomy-title shortcode to display information about the current taxonomy term in the loop:
However, this h3 is outside the wpv-loop tags where the wpv-taxonomy-title shortcode will not work:
<h3>Kategorie: [wpv-taxonomy-title]</h3>
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<wpv-loop>
...your loop code...
Instead, you can use a shortcode attribute to pass the parent taxonomy term name into the child taxonomy term View:
<wpv-loop>
[wpv-view name="your-child-term-view" parentterm="[wpv-taxonomy-title]"]
</wpv-loop>
Inside the child term View you can now access that shortcode attribute with the wpv-attribute shortcode:
<h3>Kategorie: [wpv-attribute name="parentterm"]</h3>
This is called passing arguments to Views.
