How to show selected posts from Custom Post Type and/or Custom Field?

Hi @benxy20gylinxu ,

Thanks for your comment. You can do this with the premium plugin, Posts Table Pro.

(1) You can use the post_type option option to do this.

Sample: [posts_table post_type=”page”]

(2) You can use the cf=”<field name>:<field value>” format to select posts based on a custom field value.

Sample: [posts_table post_type=”car” cf=”color:blue,make:audi”]

We hope this helps! Please let us know if there’s anything else we may help you with.

Hi @barn2pluginsupport:

Thanks for your reply, I will try out the methods as you mentioned.

And I will set this thread solved for now, but I could come back if I have had derivative question of this. Thanks again.

In 2nd scenario, I was talking about the shortcode in WordPress default post type “post”, could you help to provide an example for post? Thanks.

Regards,

Hi there:

In second scenario, your shortcode example use “color”, is that the custom field “Post Type Slug” or Lable?

By the way, in my case, I am using custom taxonomy for drawing data, just so you know. Thanks for the help.

Hi there,

I just created a custom post type for this test session in order to fit your 2nd shortcode example, and I　worked out the shortcode and the answer of my own question is that the “color” part, it is label according to my latest test.

But could you please tell me what is the shortcode for the filed of custom post type so I can show them? It is now showing default columns of Posts(known shortcut as “columns”). Thanks for all the trouble.

Hi there,

I thought I worked it out the “color” part, but I just found out I did not, I’m still trying. Sorry about posting a series of replies, I tried to modified but the system won’t allow me.

Hi @benxy20gylinxu ,

Thanks for your follow-up.

The free Posts Table with Search & Sort plugin, allows you to display only the Posts post type.

In my sample post table shortcode (using the pro version – Posts Table Pro): [posts_table post_type=”car” cf=”color:blue,make:audi”]

– the color part in cf=”color:blue,make:audi”, refers to the custom field value, which you have asked about in your first comment.

You can add custom fields to your table using the format cf:<field name>. Please see Custom field columns. This option requires the use of the Pro version.

To see the difference between the free and pro version (as well as what you can do with these 2), please see: Posts Table plugins – Free & Pro comparison.

We hope this helps! Please let us know if there’s anything else we may help you with.
