[Support request] Advanced Custom Fields doesn’t display content on Generatepress

[Marcin]

Hi,
I need to use the Advanced Custom Fields plugin for my posts but it doesn’t work. Since i installed gp, the content added in ACF is simply not displayed. Do You have any thoughts?

[David]

Hi there,

How are you displaying the ACF Content ? Are you using a Custom Template ?

[Marcin]

No, I have Advanced Custom Fields plugin, so I’ve added an extra field to specyfic post type.

[David]

You need to output those fields in the template, which would require either:

a. A custom PHP template for your posts

OR

b. the easier method is to use GP Hooks to insert your fields into the template:

ACF provides documentation on the code it requires to display its fields here:

https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/the_field/

We can help with the hook method … Let us know if you need any help with that.

Okay, I understand. Hook method it what I need. I think I can manage it myself, but If I would have a problem I will write back. Thank You.

You’re welcome !
