I am using Visual Composer in a WordPress site.
Visual Composer have function called “Post Grid”, which allows to show posts in grid based on different values.
I have created 3 custom post types called shoes, cloth and jackets.
I have created 1 post in each post type and put these 3 post in category called Brand. This category have ID = 9.
In Visual Composer plugin there is option to get data from “Custom Query”.
What i trying to accomplish is to show all posts from same brand in this “Post Grid”.
So far i only got this input field to work with a query string like this:
post_type=shoes?cat=9
This return correct post from this post type with the correct brand category, but i want it to return all posts from this category, regardless of post type.
I have also tried to pass an array like this:
post_type[]=shoes&post_type[]=cloth&post_type[]=jackets&cat=9
but this does not work. It return this output:
=shoes&post_type[]=cloth&post_type[]=jackets&cat=9â³]
Looks like square brackets exit the shortcode used by Visual Composer.
WPBakery (author of Visual Composer) just told me the following:
“Post Grid element allows using Custom query which are written in a WordPress native way â by using it you can build any query you like…”
Any suggestion on how to pass array in querystring without having VC break code because of shortcode?
