A few questions regarding pods plugin

    I have decided to go down the road of using pods which seems to be great for what I want so far however I have run into a couple of problems, perhaps you or someone else can help me.

    1. The search appears not to include information from the pod that I have created. I done a google search and saw people say that it wasn’t possible but the articles appear to be years outdated, do you know if that has been fixed or if there is a work around available?

    2. I decided to stick to using the default categories to make things easier for me, however although they are linked via pod > advanced options > built in taxonomies – when I click on one of the categories on my sidebar where they are listed I get the following error;

    Nothing Found

    Apologies, but no results were found. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.

    Any ideas how for any of these problems?

    I’m happy to help.

    1) Are you referring to the default WordPress search? If so, by default it only searches in posts. If you are using a post type Pod, then you can add that to the search at the pre_get_posts action.

    I would also strongly recommend checking out SearchWP. It makes WordPress’ built-in search way more powerful.

    If you’re not using a post type Pod, let me know and we can discuss options.

    2) Same basic issue. By default taxonomy archives only show the default posts post type. You can modify this at the pre_get_posts action. I wrote a fairly in depth article on customizing taxonomy archives that you should check out:

    OK got both instances working now using the pre_get_posts action. Now I just need to figure out how to control what information to show on the category/archive list.

    Many thanks for helping me.
