Shortcodes in Content Display

    I posted about this in the PublishPress Future support a few days ago. I was using a different block library (GetWid) and I am having the same issue in you library as well. What I have realized that this is a function of WordPress – the short code is grabbing the post ID of the main page and therefore can not pull the expiration date (or a custom meta field) inside the loop. I don’t think I can pass the post ID in any way.

    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Hi @syoung68,
    may you share step by step details to reproduce this scenario in my end? The more details, the better, please.

    Sure. Using the Content Display Block, I am entering a short code such as, [postexpirator], in the “Text after title” field. It will not pull the date for the posts in the content loop. If I put the block directly on a post, it will repeatedly pull the date of the parent post, not the posts within the loop.

    Make sense?

    Thanks for the clarification! The “Text after title” field is for static content only.

    Regards
