There are a TON of things you can do with the Pods & Elementor combo. The sky is the limit!
Drop me a comment if you have questions or just want to say hello :)
I know this is advanced stuff, but drop me a comment if you have a comment--or if you want to drop me a link of cool pages you'd like me to RECREATE--do that too :)
Not working in elementor pro v3.0.6
This was an incredible tutorial, thank you so much for showing us how to do this Pete! I've always dreamed of having my "own version of Google Maps Reviews/Yelp" on my blog, and I think I can finally do that with these tools. Appreciate it!
Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. Would have loved to have seen how dynamic images work with Pods. Be well.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I learned so much - I had to watch the tutorial a couple of times AHAH, but it works. Keep the great work going ! 👍🙏
oh I'm glad! Yeah, definitely a tricky one, but glad you got it working :)
love this video. thank you
Thank you so much for this!! Not sure if I get all of it, but it sure help me to improve my stuffs.
I'm so glad! and you're welcome of course :)
Just to say, thanks for this. I know next to nothing about custom fields or Pods. Still know next to nothing but I've got the general shape of it now, and that's often what your brain needs to start getting a handle on the detail. Will watch your video again (and again, probably). Thanks again.
Glad I could help! And to be fair, this junk is NOT easy--and every time I personally dive in and get frustrated and end up Googling a ton fo stuff >_
Holy Sh*t. Do you know how long I've been looking for this for designing my podcast page. Thank you!
You're welcome JJ! Happy designing :)
thanks!!!!
Hey Pete! was really hoping you could help me out. Is there a way to make the "follow" that goes before the dynamic tag " Seth McFarlan" in bold?
Thanks! Btw, you can change the color of the links in Elementor, no need for custom CSS (21:30). You can do that by editing the Column Style. I know, it's not really intuitive.
Thanks Pete for the great walkthrough. Been struggling with this exact thing. Does the template tip in elementor also apply to the default post styling in WP if you haven't edited in Elementor, all of my posts have been added in the default editor at this point and I am not using the Post Page option, I created a separate page with a grid layout and link to "blog"
Thanks for the comment Dan!
Honestly--I'm not positive (as I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly), but I *think* the answer to your question is "yes."
You shouldn't have to re-do any of that content built in the WP editor.
You can build theme templates in Elementor, apply them to your blog posts, etc, and the content will pull through (where you can style it Elementor).
For more info, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/7nBai7cl1Hc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing all this valuable information, Pete! For Elementor Pro 3.0.9 doesn't have the option to just choose "single" and then choose "podcast". Any workarounds you can suggest?
I'll be honest here: I don't know :/
Wish I had something for you here in the YT comments, but that's a tough one lol. Sorry!
Side Note: There's always a workaround--just depends on how much time you're willing to devote for figuring it out yourself--or how much you can pay somebnody else to. 🤷♂️
Does this also work with visual composer?
do we need the pro version to follow along ?
is there a way to update a a field in a pod. example if a user clicks favorite button?
Great video! I am trying to get a MultiSelect custom field in a pod to display as separate list items. Can you please point me in the right direction?
On my phone atm so can’t easily grab a link, but I had to scour the Pods help docs for this.
It was tricky, and I don’t think I have that code available anymore. I was just displaying with a short code through, I know that.
Wish I could help more on that one.
@@DoYouEvenBlog I came across this: docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/template-tags/each-loop-tag/ which may be a solution to loop through the items in a pod template. Thanks.
Great one Pete, thanks! If my guest is not using Pinterest and I do not fill in the link can the icon be removed?
Best Rogier
Not quite sure what you mean, sadly. Generally, you can leave custom fields blank and they won't show--but not sure about removing any associated icon? Might just have to try and see, honestly!
Pete McPherson DYEB thanks Pete. To be honest just dropped the ‘project’ for an later moment in time. Was not working immediately 😅
awesome! i subscribed you, i am trying to create dependent dropdown like countries and cities but i can't until now, can you describe my issue in new video? thanks a lot!
Something I've never done before, but I'll look into it Abo!
I made a Pod that has different Projects as Posts in there. When i make the template, the Post Type doesn't show up in Elementor. I simply cant get the information out of Wordpress to Elementor.
Thanks for the video. Everything worked great except for 1 thing.
I did everything like you did with WYSIWYG and text field in elementor but the formatting is off. All the text is on one line instead of different lines. Have you come across a similar issue?
Eek. That is a tough one, and I sure haven't :(
Might ask around in any Wordpress/dev communities you're a part of--or maybe Elementor support?
This one stinks, wish I could help more.
@@DoYouEvenBlog thanks for the reply. I fixed it by changing the editor (there were two options so whichever one wasn't selected). Thanks for the video. Super helpful, easy to follow, and entertaining
when i do that the content does not display at all
Hi pete. Sorry about my comment which was a bit ‘strong’. What really meant is that as you yourself mentioned at the beginning if your video is quite confusing due to the very nature of the ‘overwhelming’ tools available, which we struggle to follow them all.
In essense , we can use so many ‘themes’ or ‘child themes’ , or readybmade templates, or plug-ins, or even various different page builders, and ‘now’ also gutenberg blocks and add-ons , and on and on and on.
When compared to ‘Excel’ which is just one spreadsheet only !
I think ‘Wordpress’ is going overboard !!! , and driving everyone else into a frenzy . My humble opinion, and sorry once again if i was a bit too harsh. Kind regards. Martin Argimon
Hi Pete, I tried to followed this tuto but in elementor pro v3.0.6 doesn´t work, I don´t have the Single option the Theme Builder just Single Post and Page, I don´t know if you can give me a hand with that, thank you
I had the same problem. I went ahead and create a single post, and in the end when I was about to publish, i set the display conditions to my Events CPT. Hope this helps!
Am I able to perform simple math based on field values with Pods? I cannot find any kind of information around the web, sadly :(
noooooo clue. My guess is no--as I haven't seen any built-in functionality in Pods.
You could possible code something if that's your thing--but seems really hard.
What I've been struggling to do is make an easy way for a client to upload podcast episodes via posts without going through too many steps. I don't want to burden them with the code, just a simple way to post new episodes like they're using one of those run of the mill podcasting websites, but specifically for their content.
That's a doozy! And one I'm not really sure how to tackle I'm afraid. Might dive into their documentation or reach out to their support?
@@DoYouEvenBlog Would the best option then be to just manually add each episode myself and update all corresponding pages? Ideal state would be I build the framework to spec for what the client wants, and all they have to do is drop an audio file into an upload field, fill out some supporting text, publish, and all pages that correspond with said publishing are updated and new pages are made automatically.
Dear Sir,
Your videos has been very helpful.
With the help of Pods, we can organise our contents creating multiple Custom Post Types and Custom Fields.
If we have more than one Custom Post Types, Sir , how we can display Custom Post Types on various topics using Elementor and Elementor Pro ? Do we need to create different templates for different Custom Post Types ?
For example : If I want to display all topics on Cars under Custom Post Type " Car " , do I need to create a separate template for displaying all Cars under Custom Post Type " Car " ?
What if I have multiple custom post types ? How to display them using Elementor and Elementor Pro ?
I hope you got my point.
Please help .
With warm regards,
Vivek Kumar
You should be able to apply any Elementor theme builder templates to any custom post type. It's under "display conditions" when you go to publish!
Hello Pete, Can you help me find out the "single" option in theme builder? I cant see this option. view this : ibb.co/6mbzpGb.
Anyway, I solved the problem. I pressed F12 and edit html. And that displayed the pod type.
Video is very informative and great, but man you need to be a bit more serious. Thanks for your efforts.
Hi Pete... Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial, right now I'll be your big fan... I like your way of narrating so much that I would be able to marry you and give you a couple of babies, because although I don't speak English very well, I perfectly understood each of your explanations ... again, thank you very much for sharing your wisdom, God bless you😚
done deal
I like the content you are presenting, but OMG, it is PAINFUL to watch this. First off, you need to BACK OFF THE COFFEE!
That whole interlude where you said you wasted a half an hour trying to figure something out was such an annoying, confusing diversion! And THEN you come back to show this page with 3 copies of the same content, and then add yet another copy with the shortcode. You have not idea how confusing this is to someone trying to follow the steps correctly.
Suggestion: START WIH THE END IN MIND. SHOW people the thing you are going to build, then BUILD IT -- ONCE without any sidebar comments or diversions into mistakes.
And, Jesus, SLOW YOUR ROLL. You talk and click too fast! Develop a SCRIPT for what you are going to do (don't just wing it) and FOLLOW IT. Pretend that you are NOT trying to whip through the content as fast as possible. Take your time so your audience can follow both your words and your mouse clicks..
Lastly, injecting a LITTLE bit of personality into the presentation is fine. It doesn't have to be completely dry. It seems you are trying awfully hard to ENTERTAIN us. The (too many, and not great) attempts at humor are a distraction from what the main goal should be, which is to educate us.
@@linkomatic You do know you can slow down the speed of the video, right? Useful function. Personally, I like that he rips through at speed. He's packing a lot in.
Hey - you're speed talking through the whole tutorial without actually explaining or demonstrating anything we can follow - maybe you need to slow down and show a little more in detail - not all of us are experienced techies.
