Please help add a second 'Reviewed by 'author

Hi there,
For some blog posts (where I am not the author), I would like to include a second author like this: Reviewed by: Author 2
So for those posts where I am not the author, but someone else is, I would like to include myself as the person who reviewed it. Please see an example here: https://www.bankrate.com/investing/best-investments/ (see original author + review by author).
Could you please help with this?
Thank you in advance!
Hi there,
You should be able to achieve this by creating a block element post meta:

The Reviewed by can be pulled by using a custom field as this video demonstrated:

Hi there! I am trying to do something similar. However, in that video, where the person pulls up Preferences > Panels and can select to turn on "Custom Fields", I do not see any kind of option like that.
Do I need to do something special to make this option appear?
I have the Advanced Custom Fields ACF plug-in, is there a way I can use that?
Hi Megan,
You would need custom code, or a third party plugin to add custom fields with WordPress now.
With that said, ACF is a good option to add custom fields.
To retrieve the Post meta, you’ll need to use the field name/slug in the the dynamic settings.
So, for instance, I want to create a custom field for co-authors, I’ll just do it as such: https://share.getcloudapp.com/jkuXPvmR
Then, retrieve it as such: https://share.getcloudapp.com/OAu8Q669
Hope this clarifies.
