I have created a View Template for a custom post type which came with another plugin. I am bound to using this CPT because of a third-party feed it generates.

The CPT has a range of custom fields and all of them start with the "_" (underscore) prefix, so they aren't visible to edit nor to bring into views using the GUI.

Can you give me the shortcode to use (if there is one) for populating a view template with fields named "_wpgh_this_field" for example...?

Thank you
Tim

Hi Tim,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

What you can do is try doing is using the wpv-post-field shortcode.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-field

This should allow you to display those non-types custom fields.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks so much Shane. I greatly appreciate your quick response.

Your answer works is good, I'm sure, for one-off fields, but I have quite a few to deal with. Since sending my earlier request a Google search sent me to this page:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/displaying-wordpress-custom-fields/using-third-party-hidden-fields/

Which was precisely what I needed, and hadn't realised was possible in Toolset Settings. So I can now add these third party fields to Views and View Templates just as easily as if they'd been created in Types... what a revelation!

My problem is fixed and I'm a happy punter again.

Best wishes
Tim
