The most basic method of displaying video from a URL of an mp4 file is an HTML video tag.

Within Elementor and most page builders, you can output raw HTML with a shortcode module

See https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/pods-shortcode/

For example:

[pods]<video width="320" height="240" controls><source src="{@name_of_field_with_video_file}" type="video/mp4"></video>[/pods]

Shortcodoes and Pods templates are both markup languages powered by text substitution… they’re not full programming languages, not aware of each other’s context for security reasons.

Because of that, barriers related to nested logic, order of execution, and mixed languages can cause things such as a magic tag passed as an argument to a shortcode within a template tag to not work as one might expect.

Here is an alternative approach, adding a shortcode with PHP in a plugin file, theme functions.php, or code snippet plugin, which then allows the template to be simpler:

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Terrain Image Shortcode
 * Description: <code>[terrain image="1"]</code>
 */

add_shortcode(
	'terrain',
	function( $atts, $content, $tag ) {
		if ( ! array_key_exists( 'image', $atts ) ) {
			$atts['image'] = '1';
		}
		if ( ! array_key_exists( 'height', $atts ) ) {
			$atts['height'] = '56.25%';
		}
		$image_id = pods()->field( 'terrain_slider_image_' . $atts['image'] );
		if ( empty( $image_id ) ) {
			return '';
		}
		return (string) apply_shortcodes(
			sprintf(
				'[ux_image id="%s" height="%s" lightbox="true" lightbox_image_size="original"]',
				$image_id,
				$atts['height']
			)
		);
	}
);

Where the template:

[if terrain_slider_image_1]
[ux_image id="{@terrain_slider_image_1}" height="56.25%" lightbox="true" lightbox_image_size="original"]
[/if]

would then be replaced with:

[terrain image="1" height="56.25%"]

Pods is a general-purpose plugin for editing data structures available from and supported by WordPress core .

Due to the nature of creating custom data structures, as well as the nature of page builders, there are many routes to achieving many goals. It depends on what you would like to create, and how you create it.

Generally, all page builders support shortcodes, and the Pods shortcode is a free feature: https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/pods-shortcode/

If you would like functionality in Breakdance similar to the Pods blocks in the WordPress core block editor, many page builders are supported by the Page Builder Toolkit linked in the Pods readme. Breakdance is not currently supported, though future support is planned.

For using shortcodes within Breakdance, see Breakdance docs: shortcode and shortcode wrapper.

<?php
add_filter(
	'pods_shortcode_findrecords_params',
	function( $find_args, $pods, $shortcode_args ) {
		$find_args['offset'] = 1;
 		return $find_args;
	},
	10,
	3
);

…where $find_args will contain arguments passed through the block fields corresponding to https://docs.pods.io/code/pods/find/, $pods will contain the Pods object, and $shortcode_args will contain arguments corresponding to https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/pods-shortcode/

To differentiate different blocks, you’ll need to set some parameters such as template contents to be unique between the two, then use an if statement to set the new query arguments as desired. The argument contents can be output for example with error_log( print_r( [ $find_args, $shortcode_args ], true ) );

No, for comparing multi-dimensional data structures, either separate the templates out into Pods queries filtered with where SQL statements and IN( ... ), or use PHP / custom shortcodes with array comparisons.

The notice for timing for text domain loading in WP 6.7 and later was addressed in the Pods core plugin, so unless the requirement has regressed, the most likely cause would be an additional plugin or custom code which initializes Pods without using a hook or filter

For example, hook init with priority 20 should be fine, while code put into a plugin or theme without an action or filter wrapping it could cause the notice.

The message doesn’t have any functional repercussions at this time, other than writing to the logs.

WP All Import has filters for modifying the import process with additional code.

One such filter is pmxi_saved_post, which receives the ID of the post being saved as the first argument, and a SimpleXMLElement object representing the content being imported as the second argument.

Within that hook or similar, the pods()->save() method can be used to associate a taxonomy term or taxonomy term relationship field with the post.

The format of data given to save is an array where the keys are the field names and the values are the field values.

For a taxonomy or a taxonomy relationship field, the value of the field would be an array of term IDs for multi-select [ 1, 2, 3 ] or just one ID 321 as an integer if a single-select relationship.

WP’s get_term_by() can get a term object by name or slug. The field with the ID in the WP_Term object is term_id.

If there is only one taxonomy being associated, input may still need to be an array if it is a multi-select field: 'relationship_field_name' => [ $term->term_id ], or just the ID if single-select: 'relationship_field_name' => $term->term_id,

For Search and Filter Pro, I don’t have access to the plugin, but their documentation seems to indicate that a search field needs to be configured with a Query, Data Type, and Data Source:
