I might recommend using it for just your "Pages". And in the settings of Gutentor turn it off for every post type except Pages. This way you can leave all your custom post types and regular "blog" posts alone and treat "Pages" as just a building/layout/design element. #justathought

"you don't really want that.." Hahaha

Solid Strategy. And then when you find a solution using those tools, you'll look like an amazing developer who understands their dreams. 🙂

And if you haven't seen the massive amount of emails letting you know that your WordPress sites have been updated... this post is to let you know WordPress 5.8 is HERE!!!

[Benjamin]

Be prepared... It appears that everything is still on schedule for WordPress 5.8 to drop TODAY, Tuesday, July 20th. Make sure you have backups.

[Benjamin]

And yes, I realize the font issues with the forum right now... There are some REALLY tiny fonts going on. I'll try and fix that later today.

Quick link to the first of multiple posts. Note... most of these descriptions were taken from the official panel that will display in the upcoming WordPress 5.8 admin panel. I reproduced it within the Block Editor.

AHHH... Simple Fix. (I hope)

Just add the following code to your wp-config.php file

define( 'PODS_SHORTCODE_ALLOW_SUB_SHORTCODES', true );

And everything "should" work out okay.

A shortcode within a Pods template is technically a "nested shortcode" and it won't work by default. This is why we need to specifically tell the WordPress site that we are enabling nested shortcodes so the Pods template understands how to parse the difference between Pods Shortcodes & Magic Tags from regular WordPress shortcodes... and such.

Side note: If you are using a single shortcode to show Pods on the frontend and you don't want to enable the full nested shortcodes with the above line of code in your wp-config.php file, you can also convert your Pods shortcode to something like this:

In the first example, this would be a Pods shortcode being used on a regular WordPress page:

[pods name="book_pod" template="book_template" limit="5"]

If we want to convert this one to allow for THIS instance of the Pod display (because the book_template has nested shortcodes), we can modify that Pods shortcode to look like this:

[pods name="book_pod" template="book_template" limit="5" shortcodes="1"]

But for the most part, it will just be easier adding the full wp-config.php modification.

You can check out the two links that are now below the content box where you enter your replies and topics. It should allow you to click on "Preview" to see the post... and then click on "Write" to go back to the editor.

The #random forum is a great place for anything "random". If you are wanting to "continue" the conversation/discussion about webinars that are in the library. Probably the best place to put them is in the "WPStudio Webinars" forum. https://wpstudio.com/forums/forum/webinar-discussions/. But no worries if something ends up in a different place because I can just move it to the proper location.

I just pushed out v2.2.1 which fixed a typo bug in the pagination that caused the template display to "stop displaying". This has now been fixed and your sites should auto-update.
