Hi Sir, This was an awesome video on PODS. There are some features which are only in ACF Pro but PODS gives us for free and that too in a single plugin. Sir, please make videos using Bricks Builder. I know you prefer Elementor, but Bricks is also upgrading gradually. I also follow Mr. Paul videos regularly and learn lots of things. I also like both of your joint discussions and live chats. I am a non develper but have passion for blogging. I do blogging in my free time. Many things to be learnt from you all . Please keep guiding me. Till then be safe , healthy and happy. Warm Regards, Vivek Kumar ( Dehri On Sone, Bihar, India)

You unbiased view make it valuable. If you have done a video on ACF vs Pods can you share the link. Also if you can go a video on Custom post type with categories with focus on Single page, Listing page, Category page, Breadcrumb path on Single, Listing and category filter pages with tags etc would be nice as i am bit confused with how taxonomies/categories slug on different pages

Hi Imran, I really enjoy your videos. I'm new to wordpress and they helped me on multiple occasions so far. Concerning pods: How can I make the custom taxonomies that are defined as a "relationship" individually linked and clickable like "tags" behave in the default wordpress way. There I can click on every individual tag which leads to the respective archive page. This seems not to be possible with pods which would be a major downside for me. I tried the "Link" toggle in Elementor Pro in the "Post Info Widget" but it had no effect. Is there an easy way to achieve this with pods?
@EPHONIC Жыл бұрын
Great and helpful video. The problem with Pods is that the WYSIWYG (Visual Editor) strips out important tags so all text is one block. Frustrating.

Think about this - is it more important to spend money on a takeaway, a game, some clothes, etc that gives a reward for one night or a short period - or better to get a licence that leads on to richer projects and opportunities - rather than Free + Plugins = Conflict + Compatibility Problems. Trust me. Invest and look ahead.

Hi Imran, thanks for another great video. I would like to use this method to create a “team members” container template, with image, city, date, age… and to show this info into a loop carousel.. just like the common team sections, with the possibility to add more players from the “pod” group… Is it possible?

Good explanation! I was learning from you today and I tried to do an example and I had a problem, in fact there is one important detail not covered. If there are line breaks or paragraphs in Pods field type Wysiwyg they won't appear with the correct format in Elementor. After trying to overcome this problem I realize I shouldn't choose in the Dynamic Tags the Pod Field option but the Shortcode instead. Then in the Settings I wrote [pods field ="field_name"] where field_name must be equal to what is written in its Pods Field, underscore included. Problem solved. I hope this help. Best from Portugal!

I was trying pods and hit a road block as i was trying to create repeater fields for Matches with fields such as Date, Team 1 Name, Team 1 Score, Team 2 Name, Team 2 Score, Venue etc.. I was able to group all the repeater under group name Match but then it showed all repeater fields in individual rows while i am looking for an option where i can have a tabular UI so that its easy to enter details also it show add button for each field while i want to have 1 Add button for group level repeaters. I am not sure if this is possible as Pods video for repeater by Pods channels have blocked comment. Just wondering if you had any such requirement or you can do a video for such requirement

Hey, Imran! What are your thoughts on this now it's been 10 months since this video? Wish I had known this before... I'm using ACF, but now I stumbled into the need of both creating an options page and using the gallery field, which are paid in ACF and FREE in Pods. I already have some custom taxonomies and fields stablished with ACF, so I'll probably use pods only for the two features I need now. But in other scenarios, why wouldn't anyone stick to Pods only instead of ACF?

Pods is an underrated star. Still a great plugin to use.
@phkoon 5 ай бұрын
@@websquadron Indeed, it is. Just tried it out for a bit, and I can already tell that, for what I need at the moment and probably for most future projects, Pods should be enough (specially with conditional logic recently added). I see why ACF is more popular, aside from its extra functionalities, it also offers a waay more compeling, cleaner and pleasant user interface; ACF delivers an optimal efficiency UX. But nothing a bit of practice with Pods woudn't compensate that.. Well, can't say much more from my experience, but I'll start using Pods now to get a better idea. Anyways, thanks once more!

Hi, what am i doing wrong in using Pods? It seems dynamic tags only work for me in theme builder>posts template. If i use in any normal page with any widget,it does not display anything... Let's say i add an image widget to a page, go do dynamic tags, scroll down to Pods, choose pods fields, then on the rench i select "Cover image" (this is the name of my custom field i created and added photo). Same with titles...add a heading, dynamic tags, select pods fields, on the rench i select my custom pod title field, and nothing is displayed. Like i said...it only works in theme builder > posts. :/
