Problem: I would like to show information about the Author being shown in the Author archive page.
Solution: In most cases, the wpv-post-author shortcode is used to display information about the current Author. However in this site setup, the wpv-post-author shortcode does not behave as expected in the Author archive. This may be a result of the custom theme or another active plugin. Please add this custom shortcode to your theme's functions.php file:
function get_author_id_in_archive_func($atts) {
$author_id = 0;
if (is_author()){
$author = get_queried_object();
$author_id = $author->ID;
}
return $author_id;
}
add_shortcode("get_author_id_in_archive", "get_author_id_in_archive_func");
Go to Toolset > Settings > Frontend content and add "get_author_id_in_archive" in the "Third-party shortcode arguments" input field.
Then you can use the shortcode in your Author Archive Layout Visual Editor cell or WordPress Archive cell to supply the Author's User ID to a wpv-user shortcode:
Where 1 or 0 represents true or false , the has_term function returns true or false if the post does contain that taxonomy
Since the has_term() function is a function from wordpress and not one of our toolset functions then it needs to be added to our views 3rd party functions arguments.
To add this go to Toolset->Settings->Frontend-> "Functions inside conditional evaluations" and add has_term.
The issue here is that the customer had a custom field but didn't want to display the entire contents of the field. Instead they wanted to display a short excerpt from that field.
Solution:
This isn't actually possible natively but with a simple shortcode you're able to achieve this.
Problem:
How to format the number field value and display on frontend
Solution:
You need to build custom shortcode where you should pass the number field value as argument to custom shortcode and it should return the formatted number as required using the native PHP function number_format.
Problem: I would like to create conditional HTML that tests a category ID. I am currently testing using the wpv-taxonomy-archive shortcode, but it is not working as expected.
Solution: The wpv-taxonomy-archive shortcode returns the term Title by default, not the term ID. However, your conditional is set up to test the term ID. So you should modify the shortcode to return the term ID instead of term title:
