How to get Pods 3.0 Beta 1

1. You can download Pods 3.0 Beta 1 directly from GitHub here or read more about the release.
2. Upload the ZIP to your WordPress site over your existing Pods install to update it or install it standalone.

Be sure to test on Staging / Development / Local environments. This is a beta release and there is always potential that it could include bugs that may interrupt your Production environment.

What’s new in Pods 3.0

What we need you to test

• Conditional Logic for Fields – You can now choose to show or hide a field based on the value of another field. More will be expanded into this functionality in future 3.x releases. 🎉
• Try out various conditional logic settings and see if you notice any problems in the field editing interface or the forms when conditional logic is evaluating your rules.

Also there’s a new helpful Composer conflict resolution

• We added a new filter pods_tribe_common_vendor_autoload which will now let you remove conflicting libraries from loading so your own libraries can continue to be used when that occurs. If you want to resolve a conflict so it does not interfere with your own code you can remove a key from this array.

Breaking compatibility

• New minimum WP version required: WordPress 5.8+ (previously: WP 5.7+) — We will continue to support the last two major WP releases on each major feature release of Pods but we made an exception for this release.
• New minimum PHP version required: PHP 7.2+ (previously: PHP 5.6+) — Hey! You should take the time to update to PHP 8.1+ because that is the lowest version actively supported by The PHP Group.

What’s coming in Pods 3.1

• We are doing something different with our next release cycle. Instead of immediately moving onto Pods 3.1 development, we will be entirely focused on Documentation, Tutorials, and Video content.
• Before that next release cycle ends in Fall 2023, we will send out notifications to all donors with a link to vote on the next Pods 3.1 feature that we will build.
