Hi @rkim888
Thank you for your interest in Advanced Views.
For some guidance see our docs on how to setup your first Layout.
In short, after having installed Advanced Views you head over to the Layout tab in the admin menu, select Add New and then give your Layout a name.
Click on Add field, and select your field group from the dropdown, and below that select the field. You can keep adding fields with the same steps. Publish your Layout and switch to the Template tab to Customise your default template by copying it into the Custom template field, use the CSS & JS tab to style it. Save if you’ve made changes, then copy the Shortcode into place.
If you have the need to display posts with this Layout, then Add a New Post Selection, select the Layout, choose the Post type to filter by and then Publish, (you can customise and style at this step too), copy the shortcode into place. That’s it.
Please let me know if you need further guidance.
We’re also open to any suggestions you may have on how we can improve our guides or docs.
Thank you for responding. I apologize but I installed the Advance Views plugin and it doesn’t look like what you are describing to do. Is there a video I can watch to see how to use this plugin?
Hi,
Here’s a short video I made for you on how to use Advanced Views.

We are working on new official video tutorials.
Oh my goodness! Thank you! I was missing one little field and couldn’t publish! Your video fixed that! Thank you!
Hi. Sorry to bother you. I just can’t get the Advanced Views shortcode to display anything on the front end of my website. It just shows a blank. Is there something turned off by default in the Advanced Views plugin that I have to turn on?
Hi @rkim888
By default there is nothing that should prevent the shortcode from displaying the information.
The most common thing overlooked is, is there actually something filled in the fields you added to your layout?
How are you using the shortcode, is it the Layout shortcode on the post you have the fields?
Or are you using a Post Selection on a page to show posts?
