Hello all!
I use the “Custom Field Suite” plugin to create custom fields on my website. I use the “wpView” plugin to display these custom field values on the frontend of my website.
However, the custom fields no longer show up and I can’t figure out what’s wrong. I suspect “wpView” is causing the problem, but the thing is, I have it installed on a smaller blog (which has more or less the same plugins), and it works fine there!
Everything on my website is up-to-date. I already did some basic troubleshooting like disabling active plugins one-by-one to rule out conflicts there.
However, when loading a page in the backend,, I got the following error related to the wpView plugin that I used to display custom fields:
https://i.imgur.com/91Qovjq.png
Upon reload, the pink error disappeared–so I can’t “replicate” the error and I am not sure if that was a one time thing or not. I can still access the URL from the “failed to load plugin: wpview from this url” error when I visit that URL directly.
The “wpView” plugin is outdated. I askaed a question there before (many months ago) and it never received a reply.
Is there a similar plugin that does what wpView does? It was such a convenient and easy way to display all my custom fields automatically on all posts and pages. I am not a good coder, but if there is some basic code I can copy-paste in my child theme’s functions.php and single.php file, please let me know.
I hope someone can help. Thank you for reading :).
]]>Hi,
Great plugin!
Could you please consider adding support for Pods?
Pods is a very easy to use, advanced and free Custom Post Type and Custom Fields plugin for WordPress, (like Toolset, ACF, etc).
I would really appreciate it!
]]>When I add the code <?php echo do_shortcode('[wpview type="all"]'); ?>
to a single post it displays correctly, however when I try to add that inside the loop on the archive.php page it just doesn’t display. I can get other shortcodes to display on the Archive page so I know shortcodes work, it’s just the [wpview type="all"]
that isn’t working. No errors, it just doesn’t display anything.
Hello, I noticed that the fields do not show until I republish existing posts.
I tried to do_shortcode but still nothing (and get double on repushied posts).
I tried another plugin that can show the custom fields but I prefer yours because of the titles of the fields which display well.
I guess that your plugin could crawl the posts and add whatever it has to add in the posts.
Any ideas ?
Thanks for your work.
Hi guys,
Love the plugin, as it makes my life a lot easier. That said, WordPress updated TinyMCE when WP 4.8 came out without much fanfare, thus breaking some themes and plugins.
In your case, when you try to create a shortcode with the Editor button, you can only choose “Table” as the view, as the select boxes options fall below the popup box now.
If not clear, I can create a short Youtube video for you. If you are using the latest version of WP, and don’t see the issue, you need to flush the Javascript, and you will see the problem. While editing the page, (in chrome at least), press Shift + F5 to flush the cache and fetch the new files.
Regards and great work so far,
Nick DerAvedissian.
The Publication Date field is showing on pages and posts where there is no publication date set. The plugin I use is Toolset, aside from that I love this plugin of yours, so easy to use.
Please help me fix this ?
(scroll down page to see the date being shown as 1st January 1970) when there is no date set.

]]>Hi
Has anyone experienced this issue? I am getting three copies of each image displayed.
Thanks for sharing this plugin! I wanted to find out whether it’s possible to display an image thumbnail with a link to the image?
]]>Hi,
Could you please help me:
By default the image thumbnail size seems to be 80x80px.
I use Advanced Custom Fields plugin together with yours and in ACF I use a specific image size, which will not show up on the final page, because wpview changes it to 80×80 I think.
How can I change it?
See here: https://new.itraco.de/catalog/hercules/

Hi, we have discovered an issue inside WordPress’s TinyMCE plugin called “wpview”. (It’s the plugin which renders the shortcode inside the WYSIWYG editor.) Anyway, when you switch from “visual” to “text” OR when you save, the plugin converts the rendered HTML back to the raw shortcode. The problem is that when this happens, it wraps the shortcode in a <p> tag, and then when you go to text view, it adds a line break. This is what gets saved to the post_content:
[shortcode_a blah="1"]
[shortcode_a blah="2"]
In theory, if a user creates to consecutive shortcodes in the editor without explicitly adding a line break, we would expect it to save like this:
[shortcode_a blah="1"][shortcode_a blah="2"]
If the user did not want a line break after the shortcode, there’s nothing they can do to get rid of it. Anyway, I want to submit this change to WordPress, but I wanted to post here first to see if anybody can think of a legitimate reason why we need to keep the <p> tags. Here’s the code file:
/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wpview/plugin.js (Line 22)
// Replace view tags with their text.
function resetViews( content ) {
function callback( match, $1 ) {
return '<p>' + window.decodeURIComponent( $1 ) + '</p>';
}
if ( ! content ) {
return content;
}
return content
.replace( /<div[^>]+data-wpview-text="([^"]+)"[^>]*>(?:\.|[\s\S]+?wpview-end[^>]+>\s*<\/span>\s*)?<\/div>/g, callback )
.replace( /<p[^>]+data-wpview-marker="([^"]+)"[^>]*>[\s\S]*?<\/p>/g, callback );
}
We are considering removing the <p> tags from the callback function. Do you have any thoughts as to why this should be kept and why we should not submit this fix back to WordPress?
]]>The fields displayed are sorted differently from the way they should, according to ACF (the custom fields plugin I use).
Is it possible to overrule this?

]]>This is a very helpful plugin. I couldn’t figure out how to use Advanced Custom Fields without modifying my theme, which I didn’t want to do. This takes care of it nicely. However, I’d really like to display the “All in one Table” view before content, instead of after. I’ve used the “Custom Separate View” and set all fields to “Before Content”, but it doesn’t look as nice. Any chance you’d add an option to do the All in one Table before content? It would be very helpful.
]]>Field have the predefined view under ‘Custom Field – View Settings’ and hence while using the wpView Shortcodes (e.g. [wpview type=”text” title=”examination_name”]) in the code gives the predefined view mode, such as ‘Table view’.
Is there a way that I can retrieve just values as a plain text without any modification?
Hello guys,
I am using your plugin for some time and now i am trying to do something more advanced.
1) I use AFC and it can insert different groups of custom fields into posts. Is there any possibility to asign different color styles to different AFC groups?
2) I insert many custom fields, but WPView display theme randomly, not like the way i ordered them in AFC. Any tips how i can solve this?
3) I can display the custom fields that i want with a shortcode, but could you help me CSS them like “the all in one table” style”?
Thanks in advance!
]]>Hello,
I am using your plugin locally.
I insert posts importing them with a CSV importer, and your plugin doesnt show them automatically. I have to enter each post, press update post, then i can see the beatiful custom fields.
Any chance you can provide a php shortcode for all table view? Using shortcode into the single.php those fields are displayed automatically.
Thanks in advance!
]]>I want to WPview my forms, but currently using gravity forms to populate/update user databases.
Is there a direct connect with WPview or do I need one of the intermediate custom form app’s that you have api’s with? and if so, which will make it so i’m not double creating form fields, as my gravity form utilization is advanced.
But we need a good solution to display all the backend data collected, in a manipulatable and individually user profiled way.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
]]>Hi,
I have activated the plugin and it gives me problems of compatibility with NEXTGEN Gallery.
In fact,in the article only appear the custom field without photo galleries that I have previously loaded. Why?
This is a superb plugin. I love it. I actually have two questions here.
1. I’d like to only show a custom field if there’s content in that field. If it’s empty, I don’t want it to display anything.
Here’s my reference point for #1: https://staging.sideprojectplan.com/lesson/creating-your-side-project/. There’s no Parent Course for this lesson, so it seems that field should just no show at all. Oddly, I have other custom fields on that entry that have no content and they don’t show. Only this custom field shows.
2. With either the Page Link or Post Object field types, is there way to set things up where only the page name, hyperlinked, is displayed?
Here’s my reference point for #2: https://staging.sideprojectplan.com/lesson/choosing-your-angle/. The “Parent Course” field content I’d rather have showing with the content itself, no thumbnail. I selected “Table” in your plugin settings, but when I choose “Without Thumbnail” in your settings, it fouls the view up entirely.
I hope these make sense. Thanks for any help you can provide.
]]>Hi,
Thank you for sharing your work.
Is there any chance this will work in the future with CMB2, Field Manager, Carbon Fields…?
Thanks.

]]>Advanced Custom Fields PRO 5.4.8 – wpView does not work
]]>Hello,
Thank you for the plugin. I really like its idea and I have been looking for a similar one like that.
I am using Types for CPT, and ACFpro for custom fields.
I am using TwentyFifteen theme.
I have already a lot of custom posts and custom fields in place.
However, would you please tell me how to achieve that similar to your screenshots.
I have followed all the mentioned steps but with no luck.
