get post ID in shortcode

I am trying to get the post>ID in a shortcode but it’s a little tricky for how I need it.

I am building a one page WP site, and if I do

return get_the_ID();

It displays 1 which is correct, but I need to pull in meta box data from items in CPT’s on the site.

I have the following:

global $post;
 ob_start();
 extract( 
  shortcode_atts( 
   array (
    'type' => 'fhpartners',
    'posts' => 5,
   ), $atts5
  )
 );
 
 $options5 = array(
  'post_type' => $type,
  'order' => 'ASC',
  'orderby' => 'menu_order',
  'posts_per_page' => $posts,
 );

 $part_img = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_cmb_partner_image', true);
 $part_url = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_cmb_partner_url', true);

 $query5 = new WP_Query( $options5);
 
 echo '
';

 if ( $query5->have_posts() ) {
  while ( $query5->have_posts() ) : $query5->the_post();
   if($url !== '') {
    echo '';
   }

   echo 'logo';
   
   if($part_url !== '') {
    echo ''; 
   }
  endwhile;
  wp_reset_postdata();


Is there a way to get the IDs of the individual items in the CPT?

We have used this before and it worked fine for us:

global $post;
	
$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'ublportfolio',
	'posts_per_page' => 20
);

$relatedquery = new WP_Query( $relatedargs );
					
while($relatedquery->have_posts()){ 
	
$relatedquery->the_post(); 
$thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'medium', false);

$list .= '';

} wp_reset_postdata();

As you can see we have used $post->ID

as above, displays 1, which isn’t what I need, I need the individual CPT item ID’s which are 70, 72, 74 etc

Do you mean to get the CPT IDs for this code?:

 $part_img = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_cmb_partner_image', true);
 $part_url = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_cmb_partner_url', true);

If so, try putting the code inside the loop, below the following line:

while ( $query5->have_posts() ) : $query5->the_post();

arghhhhhhhhhh something so simple… I need a break haha

Here you go. I fixed a lot of the rest of your code for you too.

function my_shortcode( $attr ) {

	$attr = shortcode_atts(
		array(
			'type'  => 'fhpartners',
			'posts' => 5,
		),
		$attr,
		'shortcode-name'
	);

	$part_img = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_cmb_partner_image', true );
	$part_url = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_cmb_parner_url',    true );

	$loop = new WP_Query(
		array(
			'post_type'      => $attr['type'],,
			'order'          => 'ASC',
			'orderby'        => 'menu_order',
			'posts_per_page' => $attr['posts'],
		)
	);

	$out = '';

	if ( $loop->have_posts() ) {

		$out .= '<div class="row-fluid ParnersList">';

		while ( $loop->have_posts() ) {

			$loop->the_post();

			/* This what you want. */
			$current_post_id = get_the_ID();

			$image = sprintf( '<img src="%s" alt="logo" />', esc_url( $part_img ) );

			if ( !empty( $part_url ) )
				$out .= sprintf( '<a href="%s" target="_blank">%s</a>', esc_url( $part_url ), $image );
			else
				$out .= $image;

		} // endwhile

		$out .= '</div>';

	} // endif

	wp_reset_postdata();

	return $out;
}
