pods field outputs NULL

    Hello,

    Something odd that I can’t explain, I’m currently trying to get the following simple thing to work:

    $pod = pods( 'my_pod', get_the_id() );

$pod_field = $pod->field( 'pod_field' );

    var_dump of $pod_field gives me NULL

    var_dump of $pod does not include any of the fields in my pod.

    I can get stuff out of the pod with wp_query and get_post_meta but I don’t want to use this method as I’m trying to get to data in a related pod, so what might be the problem?

    I’ve tried disabling other plugins and so on.

    OK – so it seemed to be because of how the code was positioned in my template, which is odd because it had worked there then it had stopped working.

    Hi @perryb

    I think in your case get_the_ID() might return empty? This only works in the current post context is available.
    also, note the uppercase ID.

    Cheers, Jory
