Using "The Content" on a regular page

[petitshoo]

Hi, I’d like to be able to pull in The Content from a custom post type into a regular page (not in layout builder). Is this possible? I don’t see the option to pull in content when I try to add an element or add a text element and try to add dynamically. I feel like I shouldn’t have to make a custom field and paste content into the custom field to make this work.

I’m using CPT UI to create the custom post type.

Thanks!
Jen

Hello @petitshoo,

Thanks for writing in! To be able to pull out the content of your custom post type in a normal page, like for example your homepage, you can make use of the Loopers and then make use of the Looper Provider Query Builder so that you can get the recent or particular custom types and then display it in your Looper Provider. If you are not familiar with out Looper feature yet, please check out this documentation:

• https://theme.co/docs/loopers

Or check out this video tutorials:

Best Regards.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. However, that wasn’t what I was asking. I have made use of the Query Builder to set up my looper. My problem is that I can’t seem to pull in The Content from the post. I can pull in The Title using the dynamic element, but The Content doesn’t show up and I can’t find it when I try to use the meta tags either. I attached some screenshots for reference.

Thank you,
Jen

Hello @petitshoo,

Please be advised that the “The Content” dynamic element is available in a single layout while the “The Excerpt” dynamic element is available for the archive layout. I would suggest you add the Raw content element now insert this dynamic content code {{dc:post:the_content}}.

Hope it helps
Thanks

Thank you! That code worked perfectly. I have saved it for future use.

Thanks!
