 * 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.

 * 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!
