Hi,

For example, if i choose “Block 3” element from Visual Composer, in the “Filter” tab, i would like to change the “Post ID filter” field to support autocomplete function. Please advise which folder/files i need to do the modification.

Refer this image link of what i want to achieve.

Hi,

The post filter on the blocks works by entering specific post Id’s in the required field. This must be done manually by identifying the post Id and entering it. There is no option to have an autocomplete function for the field. If you want to implement something like this it would probably need modifications to the plugin, and that would not be an easy task.

Thanks

Hi,

I do not know exactly what needs to be done to achieve something like that. The Visual composer plugin is very complex, and no solution was provided before for this. Also the theme does not have an option to support this implementation. It would be best to try and use the default options for the blocks, because they already have settings to help you sort and filter the content that is displayed

You just need to enter one or more post or page Id’s and the block will display them only, until you change the entered data or remove this condition. This is useful when you want to display particular posts in a block or big grid, always.

Thanks
