Hi Tom,
Lovin WP Show Posts Pro.
I am applying the same hook (see code below) to all sub-pages of this page.

The wp posts list is applied for post_tags (tags have been set up with Tag base suburbs).

I am also using a shortcode [page_title] to dynamically display the page title at several place in the hook.

https://marellagm.com.au/staging/local-areas/balwyn/

How can I use this shortcode within the [wp_show_posts] shortcode as illustrated below (or use php to get page title)?
```

Some recent projects that we completed in [page_title]



Using the shortcode <code>{{wp_show_posts id="5181" settings="tax_term=Balwyn"}}</code>



[wp_show_posts id="5181" settings="tax_term=Balwyn"]



Using the shortcode <code>{{wp_show_posts id="5181" settings="tax_term={{page_title}}"}}</code>

```

Hi there,

You can try Tom’s snippet here:
https://wpshowposts.com/support/topic/shortcode-for-pods-taxonomies/#post-15797

Example:
```
<?php
$object = get_queried_object();

if ( isset( $object->term_id ) ) {
 $settings = array(
 'tax_term' => $object->term_id,
 );

 wpsp_display( 5181, $settings );
}
?>
```
What this does is, it gets the page’s term_id and assigns it as a tax_term for the WPSP list indicated within wpsp_display()

Having term_id instead of title shouldn’t be an issue as tax_term‘s value can be either ID, slug or name.
