POD Only Works if Published (not Private)
-
My code starts with something like the following which works perfectly if I publish the data, if I make it private, the code will fail (for me, my understanding is that only I should be able to see it, but it seems even I can’t).
$PlantPod = pods('plant', pods_v( 'last', 'url' ));
$BotanicalName = $PlantPod->field("name");
if ($BotanicalName == "")
echo '404';
else
echo 'Good plant data is accessible...';I don’t really know what “
pods_v( 'last', 'url' ))” does since as far as I can see it is undocumented. Maybe it makes sense to a WordPress expert but it doesn’t to me. Thanks for any pointers.

Using the “Query Monitor” plugin I found that “pods_by_title()” runs the following SQL:
SELECTID
FROMwpi2_posts
WHEREpost_title= 'plant/aaaaaaaaaa-privatustodennis'
ANDpost_type= '_pods_page'
ANDpost_statusIN ( 'publish' )
ORDER BY (post_status= 'publish' ) DESC,IDDESCNotice the “AND
post_statusIN ( ‘publish‘ )“, so it seems that it will indeed fail for private pods, I looked for options/settings for this but didn’t find any.Also just found this: https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues/3451 & https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/discussions/6717
I don’t understand the “hack” at “https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/discussions/6717#discussioncomment-3375950”, but it didn’t change the logged query or the outcome (anti caching measures used).
I wasn’t sure anything there was still relevant given the latest message is in 2017, thanks for the WP-Query suggestion, I didn’t think of that ??
I did try the hack/workaround but it no longer seems to work.
I will raise a new issue on github as suggested.
