Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, it does not work the other way around either. The code now is:

add_action(‘wpcw_enroll_student’, function($student_id, $course_ids) {
if (is_array($course_ids) && !empty($course_ids)) {
foreach ($course_ids as $course_id) {
$course_pod = pods(‘wpcw_course’, $course_id);
$course_pod->add_to(‘acces_user_exp-back’, $student_id);
}
}
}, 10, 2);

I have tested by updating other fields, and that worked fine. Could you please advise what might be wrong?

Thank you very much!

After adding that function, I have tried the shortcode like this:

[pods name="cpt-with-more-authors" ...] 
... by {@post_author,get_the_author_by_id}
[/pods]

and it returns the username of the author as I wanted :).
So, is this the right method? as I haven’t seen it documented anywhere.

*repair = clean of unused/deleted fields/relationships.

It seems that it got back to normal and works again.

I had unticked “Additional User Capabilities” and then ticked it back.
Now, with my initial code, users (contributors now) see ‘delete’ button only when it’s their post and can delete it.

However, I feel that something is not quite right and such mysterious issues can come back.

Thank you, @pdclark ! Your detailed answer helps me understand better how things work.

Now, I have (re-)enabled ‘author’ box in my PODS CPT.
Moreover, I had set the permissions/capabilities for the subscribers using User Role editor plugin. I gave them the right to edit and delete their own story. They also have access to wp-admin for that WP functionality to work.

<?php if (current_user_can( 'delete_story', $post->ID) ) { ?>
	<a onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this post?')" href="<?php echo get_delete_post_link( $post->ID ); ?>">Delete Post</a>
<?php } ?>

The code above is working well to allow users to delete their own posts only. However, it shows ‘delete post’ in case of all posts, by ALL users 🙁 – however, clicking delete will delete the right posts only.
Is any explanation for that?

I have tried your code but it didn’t work for me now (it doesn’t show anything). I have just replaced 'authors' with my field name 'by_user'.

Thank you for your time!

Wow! I have copied the code with those quotes from somewhere and never thought they are different and can affect the result.

It works as expected now. Thank you a lot!

Wow, that’s fantastic! Great plugin, support, documentation… everything’s perfect.
Thank you a lot.
