Build Dynamic WordPress Layouts
Advanced Views Pro is a content-display framework for creating reusable layouts with WordPress, WooCommerce, custom post types, and structured field data. It helps developers, site builders, and experienced WordPress users present changing content without repeating templates or relying on heavy dependencies.
Layouts can pull information through the native WordPress Query, using post fields, taxonomies, and meta values for detailed filtering and sorting. The framework supports standard WordPress content, WooCommerce products, registered custom post types, and fields from Advanced Custom Fields, MetaBox, and Pods.
Pro Layout Features
The Pro edition extends layouts for more complex content structures and presentation requirements. It supports Repeater, Group, and Flexible fields, including nested repeaters within repeaters. This makes it practical for directories, product specifications, team information, galleries, and other content organized into repeatable groups.
- Turn a layout into a Gutenberg block with a single option while retaining control over the template markup.
- Use Masonry, LightBox, and Slider integrations for gallery images, repeater fields, and user fields.
- Reuse existing layouts on other websites through the reusable components library and single-click Git sync.
Advanced Content Selection
Post Selections provide additional control over which content appears in a layout. Pro adds meta filters for selections based on meta fields, URL arguments, current meta values, and other bindings. This can support targeted listings such as properties by criteria, event content, product displays, or user-specific information.
Results can use Ajax pagination with a load more button, infinite scroll, or page numbers. Queried posts can also be presented as carousels. These tools are useful when a site needs to display a growing collection without designing each item manually.
Practical Use Cases
- Create WooCommerce product grids, related product displays, and product carousels.
- Show upcoming events while hiding past events.
- Build real estate listings filtered by location, size, or type.
- Display custom fields on individual pages, across a post type, site-wide, or for the current user.
- Present ACF galleries, maps, reviews, comments, and other structured content in a common layout.
Embedding and Workflow
Layouts can be created in the on-site editor or edited in an IDE using git-friendly templates. They can be embedded through the cross-editor shortcode or the Gutenberg integration block. The plugin also provides live reload and Dev mode to preview layout changes and identify used layouts without searching through the site.
Template validation, multilingual-friendly text and label handling, and direct access to template code support workflows that need customization. External API-based sources can also be integrated into layouts using snippets.
Installation
Install and activate Advanced Views Pro on the WordPress website where the layouts will be used. Create a layout, configure its content source and selection rules, then add the layout through the Gutenberg integration block or cross-editor shortcode. For custom presentation, edit the template code or work from a compatible IDE.
Advanced Views Pro includes priority support through the publisher’s website. Its layout tools are designed to work with any theme through the included embedding options.
