    i have a post pod called kenya_safaris
    and a category pod called safari_category
    i have this in my archive.php
    <?php
    $selected = pods_url_variable(-1);
    $pods= new Pod(‘kenya_safaris’);
    $params[‘select’] = ‘*’;
    $params[‘orderby’] = ‘t.name’;
    $params[‘limit’] = 25;
    $params[‘where’] = ‘category.name LIKE “‘.$selected.'”‘;
    echo $pods->find( $params )->template( ‘Safari_Template’ );
    ?>

    Use the WordPress API and templating structure, it’s the easiest way to theme.

    Hey Scott Thanks for your help, I actually noticed that my problem was displaying custom fields in archive pages. I have managed to display the title and summary but i am having some problems with the image. My code in archive.php loop is:

    <h4 class="excerpt-title"><a>"><?php echo get_the_title(); ?> </a></h4>
     <?php $postimageurl = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'tiny_pic', true);
    if ($postimageurl) {
    ?>
          <a>" rel="bookmark"><img src="<?php echo $postimageurl; ?>" alt="Post Pic"  class="tinyPic " width="150" height="150" /></a>
    <?php } else { ?>
          <a>" rel="bookmark"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/wprecipes.gif" class="tinyPic" alt="Screenshot" width="150" height="150" /></a>
    <?php } ?>
    <div id="summary"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'summary', true); ?></div>
        <div id="readmore"><a>">Read More</a></div>

    My image is in a custom field pod
    I only have the image frame but it is not displaying the image. Pliz assist on this.

    You could try using this instead when you output it:

    <?php echo pods_image_url( $postimageurl, 'thumbnail' ); ?>
