So, I actually call a facet template with a short code at the beginning:
[facetwp template="test" limit="10"]
which creates a table but also runs php loop on pods:
<?php while ( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
<?php echo pods( 'interviewee', get_the_id() )->template( 'Interviewee Archive 1' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
So if the problem is not found in the way the below code is written (like it is not looping through each item more than once looking for if participated, does the each subloop?) than what could be the problem when retrieving the data?
[if participated_in_interview]
[each participated_in_interview]
[if transcript_file]
<a href="{@transcript_file._src}"><img src="http://briancroxall.net/podstest/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/KhmerFile-1.png" style="max-width: 50px;"/></a>
[/if]
[/each]
[/if]
Thank you,
Scott
