My ‘relationship’ field has stopped displaying

    5 years ago

    A while ago, I used the Pods framework to create two pods for our website: UUCM Services and UUCM Speakers.
    The UUCM Services Pod has the fields:
    Speakers (Relationship with UUCM Speakers)
    Service Date (Date)
    Service Time (Time)
    From Date (Date)

    The UUCM Speakers Pod has no added fields beyond the default. We only really use the name field.

    I just noticed that the Speakers field is no longer displaying — anywhere on our site. I don’t know exactly when this changed, because I only just noticed it. The only recent change I have made it so enable the REST API for these Pods, to allow the use of the Block Editor in WordPress (Gutenberg). I tried turning off the REST API and it made no difference — still no Speakers displayed.

    I’ve looked around and can find no explanation for this.

    I use a couple of templates to control the display of UUCM Services. Here’s the most used template, if that helps you:

    <div class="service">
	<h2 class="title">{@post_title}</h2>
	<p class="time">
		[if from_date]
		<time>{@from_date}</time> <em>through</em> <time>{@service_date}</time>
		[else]
		<time>{@service_date} {@service_time}</time>
		[/if]
	</p>
	<p class="speakers">{@speakers.post_title}</p>
	<p class="content">{@post_content}</p>

	<hr />
</div>

    Could you please give me an idea of where to look to fix this problem?

    I’m using Pods Version 2.7.16.2.

    Thanks in advance for anything you can do to help!

    Hello @bryanhiggs
    Could you try clearing your cache? {@speakers.post_title} should work, I just tried.

    Thanks, @keraweb

    I’m not sure which cache to which you’re referring. I tried clearing my browser (Chrome) cache, which made no difference. I also viewed the same page in a browser that I almost never use, and thus its cache state should be completely different, and same problem.

    I am not using a caching plugin.

    What other caches might there be?

    Hi @bryanhiggs
    I meant the Pods cache which can be found at Pods >> Settings.

    Sorry, I was unaware of a Pods cache. I found it, and cleared it. Unfortunately, it didn’t fix the problem.

    I have done some investigation. I have another site that contains a slightly earlier version of our main website. It was very behind in updates, so I went through and brought it up to date with WordPress. I then updated each of the plugins that were out of date, checking to see whether the problem occurred after each update. Nothing changed. After I’d brought the site up to date, the speaker was displayed.

    Then I tried turning on the REST API for UUCM Speakers, and then checked, and the speakers display went away. I then turned the REST API back off, but still the speakers display was not present.

    So, it seems that turning on the REST API was the culprit. Next question: How do I get it back to working again? Turning off the REST API doesn’t seem to do it.

    Your wisdom sought…

    Hi @bryanhiggs

    I tried reproducing your issue with enabling REST API but couldn’t do so.
    Could you test if this issue still occurs with only Pods enabled on a default theme?
    You can test this using Site Health Troubleshooting:

    Let me know!

    I’m assuming that you want me to disable all the plugins except pods?

    Not sure how the Site Health Tool Manager will help with all this, but I’m still learning. I’ve installed it on the web site where I reproduced the problem.

    Stay tuned…

    Still working on it…

    FWIW, I have discovered that the Site Health Tool Manager plugin’s features seem to have been subsumed into WordPress v 5.3 “Site Health”.

    OK, I have done as you asked on the website where I reproduced the problem. It’s at https://play.uucm.org/ . The page that displays the Upcoming Services is at https://play.uucm.org/ministries/upcoming-uucm-services/. This is the page I kept checking while I was updating the theme and plugins, and what changed when I turned on REST API.

    That website is now running the Twenty Twenty theme, with all plugins disabled except for Pods. The Upcoming UUCM Services page shows an old service whose date I changed to be in the future. As you see, it does not display the speaker. Here is the template used to display that service:

    <h3>{@post_title}</h3>

    <h5><time>{@service_date}</time></h5>
    <h4>{@speakers.post_title}</h4>

    <p>{@post_content}</p>

    If you need to log into the site, I can give you an account.

    Thanks and Good luck!

    Hi @bryanhiggs
    Could you share your field configuration for the speakers field?
    It might be best to enter a full bug report at GitHub (please supply all info the report asks for) so we can try to reproduce better with your configuration.
