THE USE CASE EXAMPLE
For this site, I’m using a modal window linked up to some looper magic to pull in posts. Here’s the flow I want to retain:
(Above Image: Default State)
(Above Image: Hover State with correct post title)
(Above Image: Modal overlay showing successful post content pull)
THE PROBLEM
The title, link, etc. are all simply “dynamic content”, however… I have an ongoing problem I’m hoping you’ll know the answer to.
I want to bring the entirety of the post body content in to this modal dynamically, including the Gutenberg formatting (not the excerpt, and ideally sans ACF). There is a plugin that does this well, called Display Posts, which creates a shortcode that allows me to insert the post’s numeric ID to control using {{dc:post:id}}
.
When this plugin is active AND used on an item with dynamic content, it breaks other dynamic elements. In this case, it’s the modal toggle’s post title pull, which then decides to use the actual nesting page’s name. Note that it pulls the featured image background in just fine still (which is the container BG).
(Above, weirdly-justified image: Broken dynamic title on Hover State)
THE ASK / BOTTOM LINE
I’m not expecting your team to troubleshoot out a problem clearly caused by a 3rd party plugin, but rather I wanted to illustrate my use case clearly—the ideal “fix” is that you might know a Cornerstone-based solution or workaround that lets me not use ANY plugin, nor jump into custom shortcode building/registration in functions.php, yet still pull in post content dynamically.
It’s a long shot, but I figured it’s worth the ask.
Thanks!
