 * No. The short code does not display anything on a simple WordPress page with 
   Gutenburg. It does display an error if the short code is wrong and doesn’t reference
   a valid field.
 * Also the same is with ACF.
 * (!) I am sure the problem is this is because the fields are user fields and I
   want them to display on a ‘page’, but silly me, I thought there would be a way
   to use a shortcode or Elementor pro to simply say “display this field here”.
 * Other plugin ideas are welcome. As stated before I think my needs are fairly 
   basic: Add data to users. Send them all to one page which would show the user
   data of the person logged in.
 * I can’t be the only one in the world who is trying to do that, obviously I am
   going about it the wrong way. In this case Google is not your friend because 
   it shows you 1000 results of custom pages with WordPress default user fields (
   which work perfectly and got that in 5 mins), but I can’t find out how to:
 * Make custom user field(s). Create a page that shows the content of the custom
   fields for the logged on user.
 * Any solution welcome.

 * Yes, of course- I went there first. I have been working on this for weeks (on
   an off).
 * I can create the custom fields in ACF or PODS but I can’t get them to appear 
   on a page either by shortcode or buy simply choosing the key field in Elementor.
 * Actually creating the custom fields was easy.
 * Seeing them on a page, not so much.
 * So I thought I would ask here for a new perspective.

 * Thanks for your suggestion!
 * For clarity this has nothing to do with the WordPress REST API. It is an external
   API of another (non-WordPress) website. I need to make a search bar with different
   options (real estate) to pull information from it and display the results (ideally
   in a format i can design with Elementor).
 * Perhaps there is no way other than programmatically. The hard thing for me is
   that because of the REST API in WordPress, I am finding it hard to search for
   it and hoped someone might have come across something like this.

 * Hi I had the same issue. I went to save using CF7 to webhook and my changes weren’t
   saved. I can see this will affect a lot of users.
 * I downgraded to 5.5.2 and working fine.
 * For those who don’t know how to do that, go here:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/advanced/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/advanced/)
 * Scroll to the very bottom and click the drop down “development version” and then
   download version 5.5.2.
 * Install the plugin as normal, and when WordPress asks, allow it to overwrite 
   the other version.

 * I just installed it and I can confirm it doesn’t work at all.
 * I used Version 5.6 and Elementor Version 3.1.0 and Content Locker for Elementor
   1.01
 * I setup templates as required and tested using the switch “Content Locker for
   Elementor” which showed the right Elementor Template correctly.
 * But when I went to the page (and tried all the options), not one would show the
   content when I entered the password or math problem. The page just seemed to 
   refresh (the math problem changed). It never showed the content.
 * I was unable to get it to work at all. I’m surprised it doesn’t have lots of 
   negative reviews, but I won’t down-rate it, perhaps the developer can get it 
   working, it would be useful if it worked.

 * Bump. Hello [@g5theme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/g5theme/) ?
 * Here you able to tell us if there is anyway to change the default order of properties
   listed? The current default (I think is order of when they were listed) isn’t
   much use.
 * All I want is a way to have the search results page have “?sortby=a_price” after
   the /
 * Am I missing something?

 * Thanks for your suggestions. I can’t change the the .po file or the .pot file
   because I don’t have file access.
 * I tried installing loco translate but I can’t see any en_UK files to translate(
   I cant see where to change it). I managed to have the system create the UK language
   but the string “neighborhood” is nowhere to be found. All I am seeing are system
   words, nothing about property. (Yes I clicked on the Essential Real Estate bundle)…
 * Can you help with more advice or more specific intrusions please!

 * Any news on this. I really would like to set it so the search results are automatically
   listed by price (and no doubt this would be good for many people).
 * Given that the ability to order by price is available, is it very hard to make
   it default to that?

 * I too am looking for a solution to this.
 * When the plugin Country and phone field Contact From 7 is used, the phone field
   is no longer required even though it is marked as required in the markup.
 * If I disable the plugin it works as required.
 * People can send the form without putting in a phone number.
 * It would be great if we could get a solution to this, I thank the developer in
   advance in any help they can give!

 * I have a similar problem in that I want to be able to put in a short code that

 * In my case I want to create a shortcode to show the properties listed but automatically

 * I agree it would be great to be able to sort listing by default!

 * Ok to help others who want a different listing layout, to make a non full-width
   listing layout for Essential Real Estate, I simply changed the default page template
   used by the Property listing page.
 * So, I just looked up the Property listing page, edited it and then changed the
   template to one of my theme templates which had a container. The result was that
   all property listings now appear neatly inside a container.
 * I hope that is helpful to someone.
