Displaying fields from a Post

This page refers to "Post" as a generic WordPress term that covers Post, Page, any Custom Post Type, Media attachment, Woo Product, and other entities. With Advanced Views, you can display fields from any entity.

In Advanced Views, Layout embedding happens using native WordPress shortcodes. Each Layout has its own unique shortcode that can be pasted into any location, regardless of the theme, editor, or page builder you're using.

Shortcodes also support arguments, allowing you to customize the behavior of the same entity in different contexts.

1. How to display fields of the current Post

1. Create a new Layout

2. Add any fields

3. Save the Layout, copy its embedding shortcode

4. Embed Layout: paste the shortcode inside the target place

That's it! By default, the shortcode loads the Layout from the current post and doesn't require any changes.

2. How to display fields of a specific Post

1. Create a new Layout

2. Add any fields

3. Save the Layout, copy its shortcode

4. Add the object-id argument, with target post ID or slug, as described below.

5. Paste the shortcode inside the target place

Shortcode format

[avf-layout name="Name of Layout" id="651d5d75bfdf2"]
[avf-layout name="Name" id="651d5d75bfdf2" object-id="YOUR_POST_ID"]
[avf-layout name="Name" id="651d5d75bfdf2" object-id="post" post-slug="YOUR_POST_SLUG"]

1. name argument - used for clarification purposes only and doesn't play any functional role.

2. id argument - associates the shortcode with a specific Layout.

3. object-id optional argument - target numeric post ID, or post flag, if you load by slug

4. post-slug optional argument - target post slug. Its advantage over ID is that it remains the same across different installations (Staging/Live)

You can also use the common Layout shortcode arguments to additionally customize this Layout embedding, e.g., limiting its visibility for specific user roles.
