 * Hello,
    I’m using the pod template system and I need a conditional that is only
   executed on the 8th loop. I’ve been trying to use _position inside an [if] but
   it doesn’t work. But if I print it as a variable it works:
 *     ```
       [if field="_position" value="8"]<p>Test</p>[/if] <-- This doesn't work
       {@_position} <-- This works. Prints 1, 2, 3... on each loop.
       ```
   
 * I’m calling the template using a pod shortcode like this: [pods name=”themes”
   template=”tgs-home-artisticspot”]
    If have tried it in version 2.8.10 and the
   lastest 2.8.17.
 * Thank you very much.
 * Gerard.

 * Hi [@gerardciclick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gerardciclick/)
 * Could you try index instead of position?

 * Hi [@keraweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/)
    It doesn’t work.
   I have tried index and _index and all this methods and none of them works:
 *     ```
       [if field="_position" value="8"]Test1[/if]
       [if _position="8"]Test2[/if]
       [if field="_index" value="8"]Test3[/if]
       [if field="index" value="8"]Test4[/if]
       ```
   
 * Thank you very much.
