Hey Jory,
I’m using it in the post content.
This is the shortcode I used: [pods field=”course_name”]
I took some screenshots that more clearly demonstrate the problem. Pasting the links and explaining each screenshot below:
PODS1.JPG: Shows the content of the post. The post type is called “question” and is a non-public post type. The arrows point to pods shortcodes referencing pods fields from external posts. The external posts it references are called “topic” and are a public post type. The circled shortcode references a pods field within the post itself.
PODS2.JPG: Demonstrates the content of the pods field that is referenced in the pods shortcode.
PODS3.JPG: Shows the pods list and the pod created for the “question” post type
PODS4.JPG: Shows the pods fields for the “question” post type, and confirms that the shortcode references the correct pods field.
PODS5.JPG: Shows the post on the front end. The content can be mapped to the back end in PODS1.JPG. The arrows point to pods shortcodes referencing pods fields from external posts. The circled shortcode references a pods field within the post itself. The pods shortcodes referencing pods fields from external posts display the content properly, but the shortcode referencing the field from the post itself does not. I replicated this experiment with other pods fields in the post to confirm that it wasn’t working with those either.PODS1.JPG

Hey Jim thank you for the quick response. I understand what you mean about the XY problem, and can see how the use of a content management system would complicate things and could cause conflicts with Pods. I’m trying to develop a fuller understanding of how everything fits together in Pods not only for this particular website I’m building, but for future projects. To simplify this question, assuming that I was using a fresh install of WordPress with a generic WordPress theme and had installed only Pods, how would I accomplish the objectives defined in the 2nd (and/or 3rd) question(s) posted?
-How would I go about referencing each related image using a shortcode and/or magic tag?
-Alternatively is there a way to create a relationship between the topic post themselves and then reference the constituent fields of each related post?The edits to the shortcode worked perfectly, thank you for that!
