    Hello,
    Not sure how long this hasn’t been working.
    When I viewed a page on the website using Pods, I noticed that the Image and Artist information was no longer showing.

    When I go into the Divi Theme editor, I see the error message “Pods embed error: Pod not found.

    Here are the shortcodes I’m using.
    [pods field=”artist_name”] [pods]{@artist_name}[/pods]

    [pods field=”artist_image._img.large”] [pods]{@artist_image._img.large}[/pods]

    Artist Name: [pods field="artist_name"]
[pods]{@artist_name}[/pods]

From: [pods field="artist_from"]
[pods]{@artist_from}[/pods]

Style: [pods field="artist_style"]
[pods]{@artist_style}[/pods]

Media: [pods field="artist_media"]
[pods]{@artist_media}[/pods]

Subject: [pods field="artist_subjects"]
[pods]{@artist_subjects}[/pods]

Art Value: [pods field="art_value"]
[pods]{@art_value}[/pods]

    Thanks for the guidance on why I’m getting this error message.

    You’re opening the [pods] shortcode twice. The second entry, [pods], with no arguments specified, should not be there.

    Also, unless you’re on a template that’s already running a default query for the extended pod, you typically need to specify the name of the Pod being queried.

    I’d expect to see something like this:

    Artist Name: [pods name="name_of_your_custom_post_type_registered_with_pods"]{@artist_name}[/pods]

    Specifying field="artist_name" and using a template, {@artist_name}, is also redundant. So I’ve removed one. It’s either one or the other.

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for replying.

    This code was working when I initially built the site but somewhere along the past updates it stopped working and I’m not sure when.

    I’m not sure I follow what you are saying.
    My Template name is called “Artist Template” not {@artist_name}.

    When I look at the documentation, I see the code example below, and it’s how I have my code structured.

    Display a field from the current post
    [pods field=”my_custom_field”]
    [pods]{@my_custom_field}[/pods]

    My Code:
    [pods field=”artist_name”] [pods]
    {@artist_name}[/pods]

    Does this code in the documentation no longer work?

    Thanks
    Greg

    WordPress core currently has an issue where if shortcode styles are mixed, nothing will display. One style is without [/pods], the other is with. To test this solution, change the format by adding [/pods]:

    [pods field="artist_name"][/pods] [pods]
{@artist_name}[/pods]

    Or just use one or the other. Right now you’re querying the same field twice.

    The documentation is showing two possible formats. It doesn’t work to use both at the same time.

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for the quick response.

    That worked. I just used this short code
    [pods]{@artist_name}[/pods]

    or the this other short code

    [pods field=”artist_from”][/pods]

    And now I understand what you meant that I was querying it twice.

    Thanks again for your assistance.

    Greg
