    Hi

    Oure Entire website is built on PODS and relies on PODS heavily for customer post types. NONE of our custom post type templates are working any longer since updating, and as a result a MASSIVE loss in revenue is ocurring.

    We notice that there are now pods access rights and related things added but we have NO IDEA how this works and just want everything to run the way it used to.

    Is there a setup related to access rights that will essentially revert the settings to how they were pre-update? Or how do we get our templates working once again as they seem to not be being read/seen/called anymore.

    This is super urgent so any assistance would be massively appreciated.

    Thanks

    PS: I have implemented a workaround to the templates not working, BUT I still would like to know if they’re not working suddenly because of access rights feature, and if so, what settings should I implement in access rights to get the templates displaying?

    Also worth noting, we currently have the code snippet provided by PODS documentation to enable shortcodes in templates, implemented as well.

    Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hi

    I am still awaiting feedback on the above if possible please. I do feel that issues caused by massive updates to the plugin, albeit the free version, could at least use some response from the plugin creators – even if it’s to tell me I am need to go somewhere else.

    I look forward to your feedback on my issue. Thanks

    Hi @supadigital

    Did you read our docs on the access rights? https://pods.io/2024/02/21/pods-3-1-feature-release-access-rights-revamp/
    > https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/access-rights-in-pods/
    > https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/access-rights-in-pods/access-rights-settings-in-pods/
    It is basically a more fine-grained control of what is (and most important isn’t) allowed.
    You can use the review page (under the Pods setting page) to review the current settings on your Pods.

    Going into more depth on your report. What exactly isn’t working anymore?

    The quickest solution would probably be to full allow all Pods dynamic features. Either through the settings or through constants (See docs).
    However, I would recommend taking the time to review these settings to make sure you have your security up to date.

    Cheers, Jory

    A common issue is that some people have PHP in their templates. That’s no longer allowed by default for security reasons.

    You can enable it with the constant PODS_DISABLE_EVAL

    https://docs.pods.io/troubleshooting-pods/pods-constants-for-wp-config/

    define( 'PODS_DISABLE_EVAL', false );

    Hi @sc0ttkclark and @keraweb

    Thank you so much for the feedback.

    I did review the documentation, but honestly it was all a bit over my head. Nevertheless – Scott’s feedback was helpful and managed to solve the issue. I was using PHP to echo a shortcode and therefore it wasn’t working. So I simply removed the php around the shortcode and all is well once again.

    I thank you both for your feedback. Very much appreciated!
