    Hi,

    First, thanks for that incredible plugin. It’s really usefull and powerfull.

    I have a problem to display some post on a custom post type page. Each users have a page to display some information about their shop. Include sales and news. I have create two posts categories: sales and news. I want to display thoses articles for each page use by shops owners (i hope i’m clear with these explanations). With a condition if there no sales or news.

    So, inside the template i use this code for sales

    <?php
$sales_shop = '
[if type=post category=sales author=same]
 [field title]
 [content]
[else]No sales!
[/if]
';
echo do_shortcode ($sales_shop);
?>

    But it doesn’t work, it display “No sales!” instead of the two posts i have create. Of course, i don’t want to display the same sales information for a shop owner A and a shop owner B.

    I have tried to use a related shortcode to display post of the author (i use Custom Content Shortcode with ACF), it works, but i can’t use it on a condition.

    Could you help me please, i’m pretty lost.

    Thanks a lot.

    Hello,

    The author parameter should be: author=this. Hopefully that will solve it.

    There are also a couple helper functions you could use:

    <?php start_short(); ?>

[if type=post category=sales author=this]
 [field title]
 [content]
[else]No sales!
[/if]

<?php end_short(); ?>

    In the next update I’ll add some documentation about shortcode use in a PHP template.

    Thanks Eliot for this tip with start_short(), end_short().

    Unfortunately, the condition doesn’t work with author=this neither.

    Is it possible to add an option to related shortcode if there nothing to display ? (no related post, taxonomy, category, ect…).

    Thanks alot
