Problem:

The problem here is that the user is filtering their view by a shortcode parameter, however when a shortcode is passed into the view parameter the formatting breaks.

Solution:

In order for you to do a shortcode in shortcode type setup you will need to first ensure that you're creating a content template with our Toolset plugin. The nested shortcode setup will only work with Toolset.

This is because wordpress core dropped support for using shortcodes as attributes.

A few other plugins have added support for this but if you're creating a page through wordpress core then it won't work.

Problem: I would like to filter a WP Archive using the post expiration timestamp from Forms, i.e. the _cred_post_expiration_time field.

Solution: Use the archive's Query Filter editor to add a query filter based on that hidden custom field value. First, you must expose the hidden _cred_post_expiration_time field to Views filters. Go to Toolset > Settings > Front-end Content, and add _cred_post_expiration_time in the "Hidden custom fields" section. Then in the WordPress Archive, add a Query Filter based on the _cred_post_expiration_time custom field. Configure the filter so that it finds results with _cred_post_expiration_time greater than or equal to NOW, or TODAY, as shown in the screenshot here. You may have better results with TODAY depending on your server's timezone settings, but you can try NOW or TODAY in the filter configurations to see which one gives the best results.
