Problem:

The Toolset image block using the "Shadow 1" frame within a View is displaying excessive padding between the image and the drop shadow. This issue arose after recent updates to WordPress and Toolset Blocks, despite no changes being made to the site’s code.

Solution:

The issue is caused by conflicting CSS. Add the following CSS code to your site to resolve the problem:

.wp-block-image .tb-image-shadow-1 a {
    display: block;
}

- Navigate to your WordPress Dashboard.
- Go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.
- Paste the CSS code above into the provided box.
- Save and refresh your site to confirm the fix.

Problem:

I aim to pass a value from a custom field "product id" on a custom post type template "brands" to another view displaying fields from a different custom post type "products." However, I am uncertain about creating a custom shortcode to achieve this.

Solution:

You're on the right track. Utilize code similar to the example provided in the Toolset forum (https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-pass-a-variable-to-a-view/#post-380479) as a starting point. Additionally, refer to Toolset documentation for adding custom code (https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code) and passing arguments to views via shortcodes (https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/passing-arguments-to-views/).
