  • Step 2 : Save View then paste generated shortcode [pt_view id="VIEW_ID"] to right place (editor of a page, Text widget… anywhere you want to display your content). If you are a developer, you can <?php echo do_shortcode('[pt_view id="VIEW_ID"]'); ?> in your WordPress theme

“View” is a custom post type which Content Views plugin uses to store options to produce output of your content.

Once the plugin has been installed and activated on your site, a new top level menu item is added to the WordPress admin sidebar menu entitled “Content View Settings”. This menu has three options:

  • Content View Settings (control loading of front-end assets, select user role who can add/edit/delete View, enter the license key)
