Field from Current post (linking error)

    Hello,

    Please bear with me as I’m still quite unfamiliar with pods and am struggling to keep all the different types of data straight. We have a page that lists our programs. On this page, we have a query that pulls up our programs based on a template designed in Elementor. This template pulls information form our page categories using pods. One of the fields we use in our template is the link to that program page using shortcode in the link section of elementor’s content tab (listed below).

    [pods]{@_link}[/pods]

    The link no longer directs to the page associated with that page category. From what I can tell this is a magic tag, but I do not understand how these work. I did find this page:

    https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/pods-shortcode/

    Which does list this function as:

    Display a field from the current post

    but for some reason, while the rest of the category information is being pulled, the link is instead redirecting to the same page.

    I’ve been click around for awhile now and don’t feel any closer to the solution. The problem started with the latest update so as far as I know it could have something to do with the Access Rights. I’m not sure how these were set prior so I’m nervous to go changing things. Chances are though, that it has to do with these settings just from what I’ve been reading.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I had to revert the plugin to version 3.0.10 for our users whilst awaiting a response. Let me know how I can share secure information with you and I’ll grant access to a staging site where the problem has been recreated.

    You can go to Pods Admin > Access Rights Review and look at the Content Visibility setting there for that custom post type that you are embedding.

    If you set it to Public OR Enable Dynamic Fields (not using the WP Default) then that should get you where you need to be. If your Restricted Dynamic Features are set to Display and Forms, then you may want to unrestrict Display if you still want a non-public content type and it’s fields embeddable.
