Post: field is not allowed

Since version 5.12.8 the plugin only allows you to display a set of specific post fields (see the Options table above for the full list). Any fields that are not whitelisted will trigger the “field is not allowed” error.

This mechanism was introduced to improve the plugin security, since the shortcode can be used, for example, by a contributor user to access sensitive information about any post of the site.

The list of allowed fields can be extended with the su/config/post_fields filter. To whitelist a specific field, add the code below to the end of the functions.php file of active theme. Please be careful, since the added field can be used by other writers on your site.

add_filter( 'su/config/post_fields', function( $fields ) {
	// The field 'post_field' will be whitelisted
	// and the 'Post Field' string will be used in the Insert Shortcode window
	$fields['post_field'] = 'Post Field';
	return $fields;
} );
