Post Meta Handling for Custom Fields

Overview

By default, the easiest way to get any custom field from Pods is with get_post_meta function from WordPress. Pass the id, the field name and you’ll receive what is stored in the custom field.

NOTE: By default, Pods is hooked into get_post_meta with the filter pods_meta_handler_get; this routes the results of the function through Pods Display, or Pods Field for Relationship fields. If you wish to bypass this action, you have a few options:

Disable everything:
add_filter( 'pods_meta_handler_get', '__return false' );
Disable object type:
pods_no_conflict_on('post'); // disable Pods meta handling for post types
Possible values: post / taxonomy / media / user / comment / settings
Enable object type on case by case basis:
pods_no_conflict_off('post');
