I did.

Thank you. I wound up just registering a Full Name as well as First and Last. It is a little redundant, but it give me the most flexibility in the end. THat way I can have “Dr. John K. Smith III” as full name and “John” as first and “Smith” as last. I really only use first and last for sorting purposes.

As always you are super helpful. Thanks again.

Any updates on this?

Any timeline for supporting this?

I see now that it is pulling the excerpt.

I second this suggestion.

This seems to be a function of WordPress directly not just your plugin. The same thing happens in a query loop block. The short code is grabbing the post ID of the main page and therefore can not pull a custom meta field inside the loop.

Thank you! Worked like a charm. I did make one change to account for empty fields…

add_filter(
	'meta_field_block_get_block_content',
	function ( $content, $attributes ) {
		$field_name = $attributes['fieldName'] ?? '';
		// TODO: input your field name here.
		if (( 'YOUR_FIELD_NAME_HERE' === $field_name ) && ($content != '')) {
			return date( 'm/d/Y', strtotime( $content ) );
		}

		return $content;
	},
	10,
	2
);

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. Sorry for my other post. I was not sure if you were getting updates on resolved topics

Am I correct that this will be fixed for custom post types as well? I can not replace to a custom post type taxonomy (category). And are you guys still thinking any day now?

Any follow up on this?

I can get simple shortcodes to work where I am inputting something constant like current year, but anything that calls the post info does not work. I am trying to pull a meta field shortcode that is in my function.php page. It works fine on a single post page, but not in the template loop.

I asked them first. They say that shortcodes are working. I have put other shortcodes in, but now that i am experimenting, it seems that anything calling in the post loop is not working. I will go back to them.
