The ongoing problem with vanishing field content/field content not saving......

[shred787]

Description

In short, not only did Pods decide to clear the custom fields I had created of the data in the custom post type, but also decided that it would no longer save input from me.

You simply can't save content into a post on a custom content type using the back-end form - Pods apparently clears it while saving.

This is a well-reported issue, and saying "we can't reproduce it" is equivalent to saying "Well ours doesn't do that".

Of course yours doesn't do that - because your copy apparently works properly for some unknown reason.

Sarcasm aside, this needs looking into because this has happened to me multiple times on multiple installs and it's a serious bug that is well-reported by other users.

I'm using the latest version of Wordpress with Elementor on a cPanel install on a consumer-grade shared hosting server, but I've also experienced this on dedicated hosting.

Version

2.8.0

Testing Instructions

1. Create a pod.
2. Generally mess with it.
3. Create some pages and link the fields up to them.
4. Save some data.
5. Come back in a few days.
6. Everything apparently stops working.

Does this impact only relationship/file fields or does it impact just about any field you try?

You're right here that I can't reproduce this yet but I'm determined to help figure out what's going on so we can get it resolved for you and anyone else encountering it.

Can you provide a package of your configuration (Pods Admin > Migrate Packages) using the Migrate Packages component (Pods Admin > Components)? That might help us to see if we can reproduce the issue.

Also helpful would be access to your Site Health information (Tools > Site Health > Info Tab > Copy site info to clipboard) would also help us determine if there are any potential conflicts from other plugins or your theme.

Good morning. I actually removed Pods from the site over this issue. However, i can give you some background details on the installation. - I always use roughly the same plugins for building sites and roughly the same environments. - my builds are based mostly on cpanel servers. - my builds are usually based on the elementor site builder. - my builds are usually based on updraft for website backups. - my builds are usually based on the advanced addons for elementor plugin. That's a common set of factors to my sites. Sent from Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>
