    Hi - I'm using Beaver Themer to build a display template and would like to create the following display -

    "08/26/2018 | Post Title | Post Description"

    as far as I can tell, the basic shortcode displays custom field IDs, but the post title is not a custom field.

    any suggestions on how to create a shortcode that displays the Post ID with a link to the post?

    thanks!

    Hi,

    Beaver Themer already has shortcode to insert post title. See these screenshots:

    yes - but I need to display both the Post title / link and the custom field data side-by-side

    your themer integration doesn't allow for inline text so I have to use your shortcode... which doesn't explain how I can display the post title from your plugin.

    the BB shortcodes dont grab metabox custom fields, so I need both on a single line.... make sense?

    When you select a field to connect, choose the Insert button, not Connect. That inserts a shortcode into the field. Then you can insert another shortcode, making them display inline.

    Please see this video:
