Problem:

Open URL custom field in a new tab when using the types shortcode for the url field. E.g [types field='url'][/types]

Solution:

To do this you will simply need to add the target='_blank'

The final shortcode should look like
[types field='url' type='_blank'][/types]

Problem:

The issue here is that the user was getting "This block has encountered an error… " error for their field and text block.

Solution:

In this case the issue was being caused by a plugin conflict in particularly the gutenberg plugin. Once the gutenberg plugin has been disabled the issue was no longer there.

Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted filter their view by the current user on the page.

Solution:

This can be done by using the Query Filter for your view. There is a post author filter that can be used to filter the current.

If you check your view you should see the section for the query filter if you're using the classic view setup, however the same should appear under the "Custom Search"tab when using the Block view.
