[Resolved] loading an element content template in a custom location

Here’s a generalized example of what I’m aiming to do:

function show_post_with_element_content_template($item_html, $post_id) { 
    // Use an element content template with dynamic content (or block element, for example)        
    $element_id = 1234;
	
    ob_start();
    $post = get_post($post_id); // specific post
    $the_content = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content);
    // --> Use $element_id as the content layout for the post...
    if ( !empty($the_content) ) {
      echo $the_content;
    }	
        
    $item_html = ob_get_clean();

    return $item_html; 
}
add_filter('my_plugins_item_html_template', 'show_post_with_element_content_template', 10, 2);

Thank you for the suggestion.

This definitely gets closer, but since I want to use the element with dynamic content as a template for another post, can i load an element in this fashion and also tell it which post to use as its source for the dynamic content?

Load post_id using element_id as the template.

Thank you! This is now display the element, but I’m still seeing two issues:

• This still shows the content layout element with placeholders like “TITLE” instead of replacing the dynamic content.
• The CSS for the element isn’t being loaded.

Here is an example of how I am using this:

function my_demo_result_template($template, $demo_id, $posts) { 
     // The demo result I want to modify 
    if ($demo_id == 123) {
	
		// get the element
		global $post;
		$element_id = 456; // ID of the element
		$element = get_post($element_id);

		// get the posts to show in the demo result
		$args = array(
			'post_type' => 'any',
			'post_status' => 'publish',
			'post__in' => $posts,
		);
		// query for the ID
		$my_posts = new WP_Query($args);
		
		ob_start();
		if ( $my_posts->have_posts() ) {
			while ( $my_posts->have_posts() ) : $my_posts->the_post();
				echo apply_filters('the_content',$element->post_content);
			endwhile;
			wp_reset_postdata();
		}
		$template = ob_get_clean();
		
    } 
    return $template; 
}
add_filter('demo/result/template', 'my_demo_result_template', 10, 3);

Again, thank you so much for your help with this.

To clarify, $demo_id is the page where I am calling the filter in order to display the content of the posts in $posts, which I hope to template using the element content layout of $element_id.

If I add 'p' => $demo_id to the query args, wouldn’t that just tell the query to load the post $demo_id instead of the $posts in 'post__in' => $posts ?

I can always recreate the element markup and css by hand, which will do the trick, but I was hoping to find a general solution here that I could reuse in other projects where I want to customize the output of a third-party plugin via its filter hooks but using the awesomeness of GP Elements.

Use a filter to modify a template -> load the content of one or more posts -> use an element with dynamic content as the template for those posts.
