6,903 PointsHow to show custom post type, single post, by shortcode in a page??
Hi there
I have a problem. I have found some solutions to create a shortcode to get a single post from a custom post type, but it only calls whats in the original editor-field in every post or page in wordpress. It does not call what is in my custom fields. I suspect that it cannot read from the template file, so i tried combining some get_template_part into, but with no luck.
Does anyone know what to add to make it display it all?
function cpt_content_func($atts){
$post = '';
$content = '';
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'slug' => null,
), $atts ) );
$args = array(
'name' => $slug,
'post_type' => 'rejser',
'numberposts' => 1
);
$post = get_posts( $args );
if ( !empty( $post ) ) {
$content = $post[0]->post_content;
}
return $content;
}
add_shortcode('rejse','cpt_content_func');
I have a php file called 'content-rejse.php' with the html design where it calls from the custom fields, and it works if i show all my post, and a single post, but not when i try to retrieve it with my shortcode, then it only show whats in the original editor-field.
Thank you very much in advance, i hope you can help me.
Best regards Nikolaj

With this:
$content = apply_filters( 'the_content', get_post_field( 'post_content', $post[0]->ID ) );
