ParticipantHey folks,
I am having issues, well seem to be having multiple issues with Views and rendering fields on the front end when it comes to the Loop and custom post types.
Here is a video showing you the issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SxeWk8wQgw
Let me know what you think and if there is an issue or am I missing something.
Cheers

ModeratorHi Zenjukai,
The archive page of the post type Animal on your site is
http:localhost/animal/. The slug/animals/is a single page. Can you please re-check it?June 3, 2021 at 6:39 PM #28680ParticipantHey Long,
Yes post type plural name is "Animals", the slug, which is autogenerated from the "Singular Name" is "animal". I also tried to change the slug so that it is plural as well, but did not work.
So after some digging (and maybe this should be put into your documentation) is that when you are adding that page/archive to your menu, you cannot add it from your "Pages" section, but rather from the post type section. You have to click on that post type, then "View All", then you have the Animal Archives which then shows the correct information.
So all is working but again this should not be so hard. Maybe consider updating your documentation with some clear understanding.
Cheers

Thanks for your feedback.
I will add a note on the documentation about this case.

September 21, 2021 at 10:02 PM #30878ParticipantHey folks,
Sorry to reopen this thread ... but I noticed another issue that is related to this posting.
I can get the fields to render no problem now in the archives page, but that is it. It will no render the fields data on single page, single post, or shortcode.
Any thoughts?

September 22, 2021 at 10:49 AM #30889ModeratorHi,
You are using the main query in Insert Field tab > Query > Main query: Loop
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#main-query{% for post in query.posts %} ... {% endfor %}that means this query only applies to the type: Archive to show the list posts of the archive post type page. And it does not work for a single post or a single page.
If you want to show a list of
animalposts on a single page, you can use the custom query. Please read more here https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#custom-query -
