Title: Problem using pods in custom fields Last modified: August 20, 2022 --- # Problem using pods in custom fields * Resolved [wamuena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wamuena/) * (@wamuena) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-pods-in-custom-fields/) * Hi all, * since I guess today I have the problem that I can not add a pod content into a custom field. * The custom field is called “rechte_spalte”. If I add the code [pods name=”telegramm” orderby=”date DESC” limit=”20″ template=”telegramme”] and update the page, the code simply is deleted. No difference between visual and text editor. Every where else the plugin as well as the code works propper. * Some days ago, it worked. There were two updates of the plugin from 2.9.1 to 2.9.3 in the meantime. I restored to 2.9.1 but the problem is still there. * Can someone tell me whats wrong? * Thanks and regards * wamuena * Edit: temporarily I added the code in the main column as quick solution, the content should be on the right column under the headline “Aktuelle Termine”. - This topic was modified 3 years, 9 months ago by [wamuena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wamuena/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-using-pods-in-custom-fields%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-pods-in-custom-fields/#post-15938159) * Hi [@wamuena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wamuena/) * This sounds like a possible theme/plugin conflict.

Is this a custom theme? If so, make sure that your page/post content is run through `apply_shortcodes` function or through the `the_content` filter. * Cheers, Jory * Thread Starter [wamuena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wamuena/) * (@wamuena) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-pods-in-custom-fields/#post-15943556) * Hi Jory, * frankly I have no idea where to look after this settings. * Just to be clear: the theme in principle works with the pods plugin. Only within the customized fields it does not work. The code is not saved in the field, it is simply deleted after updating the page. * When I start health check mode and switch to a standard theme, then I see the code directly without any function. * Thanks for your support! * BR * wamuena * Thread Starter [wamuena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wamuena/) * (@wamuena) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-pods-in-custom-fields/#post-15943596) * Topic is solved. Within the custom fields, shortcodes were not allowed (advanced option). I don’t know how I changed this accidentally… Thanks for your support! - This reply was modified 3 years, 9 months ago by [wamuena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wamuena/). * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-pods-in-custom-fields/#post-15944578) * Hi [@wamuena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wamuena/) * Ah check!
