im trying to add a twitter feed to our company website but for some reason I cannot add any general pods to the website.
There are a number of pods which have been created
However, when I go into the page to add them, none of the pods appear- even when I search for them:
Could someone please point me in the right direction as to how to fix this? My other job also uses this template and I have had no issues with the pods not showing up.
The concept of a Pod doesn't exist in Umbraco as a thing and is something
that has been created for your site. It sounds like it's been built to allow you to add reusable pieces of content to pages like widgets in WordPress.
Without seeing the backend it is hard to say why it's missing but by default any search functionality is driven by Examine. I would start by looking at rebuilding the examine index to see if this fixes the search issue. The internal index will hold all content but you my have a custom index for pods. It's worth reindexing the index in case it has got corrupted. Depending on the size it can take a while and might affect performance so be warned.
Also it's a good idea to look at the logs to see if an error has been thrown behind the scenes. These can be found inside the App_Data /Logs folder in the root of the site. There is a great package Trace Log Viewer that would help will uncovering issues.
Thanks so much everyone for getting back to me- I really appreciate it!
I am using a Uskinned theme called 'Handyman'.
I'm just confused as to why it isn't working as the other website I have been editing has the same theme and the pods are working as they are supposed to.
Any help or guidance would be great- I'm not really savvy with this kind of thing :(
I would start by right clicking an choosing "Inspect Element" so that the developer console appears (assuming you are using Chrome). The console may list some error messages that may give you some insight.

Hi Emma

What datatype are you using?
Thanks,

Hi Emma,

With regards to your issue. It looks like the Data Type USN Pod Picker isnt pointing to the Sitewide pods folder where your Pods are found.
Go to Developer > Data Types > USN Pod Picker
Make sure the Node type is set to Content and the Sitewide Pods folder is selected.
Cheers,
Marc
A massive thanks to everyone who helped out.
Marc, your advice worked and the Twitter Feed is now on the website :) thanks so much! Hugely appreciated.
