Unlock WordPress Potential: A Beginner's Guide to Advanced Custom Fields

This is the best ACF tutorial I’ve ever seen! You covered everything from the basics to the advanced features very engagingly. I especially liked how you used custom taxonomies to group the job listings by category. That’s very smart and useful. Thanks for sharing! 😄

Very clear! I also like that you remained within the Wordpress and ACF interfaces, and did not venture into the code. Lots of tutorials focus on code., which is great, but not for everyone.

Do you have recommendations and/or a resource on how one could use Wordpress and ACF to manage, display, and filter information about products and their performance in a competition? Essentially the products, annual competitions (reoccurring), and winners per categories? Thanks!

Hey Paul! I've been watching you for years. Thanks for all the great advice and info. I'm wondering how I would go about changing my custom post types from CPT UI (which is the way you originally had to set up custom post types) and get them to show up in the ACF plug-in. I still have custom post types, but I'm afraid of creating any new cpt in ACF as they might not be compatible with the cpts already created in CPT UI. Any ideas there? Thanks again for all the great content!

Is it possible to NOT HAVE the Elementor? I purchased a different theme, so it would ruin my website if I activated the Elementor...

Paul, I've been watching you for years! Thank you. I started using ACF when we still had to use CPT UI... now I've got a website full of CPT UI that are really afiliated with ACF... it's weird. Is there a way to easily convert CPT UI to ACF?

Nice! thanks. If you can write tutorial about ACF & Elementor?

How many custom fields are too many? At what point they can impact website performance? Thnaks

Excellent tutorial. Does ACF Pro eliminate the need for Custom Post UI or do we still need it? It seems that ACF Pro has post types and taxonomies, or am I missing something? (Newbie here ;-)

Fantastic Tutorial, was watching your other one on ACF for elemetor last night i think it was from 3 years ago. Realy good Tutorial, thank you

What is the difference between Custom Fields and ACF? It's a completely different UI, I don't get it

When I create a custom post type with ACF, how do I create an archive page for this post type? I didn't find option regarding the archive page

Wonderful!

What an epic channel, Paul is extraordinary! I'll be smashing the like, subscribe, bells, shares all the buttons!

"This tutorial was amazing. 🤯 It opened my mind. I'm thinking about creating, as a study project, a programming guide for a TV channel, with weekdays and times for the airing of the network's programs. Is it possible to achieve this using ACF?🙏 I considered this idea to deviate a bit from the common practice of creating templates for real estate websites, car sales, or medical appointment scheduling."

can u please how we can do this loop in Elementor?

Hi Paul. As always; thanks for the excellent content!
I have a case where I need to add a 'Price' field. That's gonna be a number with a prepend of '£'.
But I then have to be able to provide the options of 'Full Job' ... and 'Day Rate'.

So it's a number field joined to a selection, right?

why would anyone bother with acf... it's confusing af.

Hi Paul, thx for this great tutorial and I love to see more tutorials with ACF, you have a nice way to explain al.

We’ll explain to a beginner ❤

thanks Paul for the excellent video! I am at the final stage of displaying everything on website. However, I could not find Appearance - Elements. I am struggling what is the reason for it?

Is it possible to create a custom field that queries a list of posts from one of my custom post types and allows me to add a new post directly from the field? What would I need to accomplish this?

For example, if I have three custom post types: Authors, Books, and Publishers. I can add Authors with fields like biography, favorite quote, etc. I can add Publishers with fields like address, year established, etc.

While I am adding a book, one of the fields I want to enter data in is Author. I would like my user to be able to start typing an author's name and a list of names automatically come up of previously created Author posts, or, if the name they type in does not exist, they can add that Author right there on the spot - and go edit the Author post type later to add the additional details. Same with Publishers.

Then, I can create custom templates: An Author template that displays a list of all of the books written by them and a Publisher page that does the same thing. And of course a Book page that displays all that information as well and links to the individual pages of the Author and Publisher from that page.

I'm experienced with creating complex databases, but this aspect of web development is new to me. My previous experience with web development is quite dated and I'm trying to update my skills so I can build a couple of websites I've designed and hopefully take on some new clients. I've been watching video after video trying to learn the skills I need for the sites I'm building, but I'm getting a little overwhelmed and lost and could use some guidance. I really appreciate anyone who is willing to give feedback.

If I could hit the like button twice, I'd do it. Love the way you make it so simple!

Superb, as always. Thank you. 🙏

I've been look for a tutorial of this caliber for ACF. I would really enjoy another for the PRO features.

Is there a way to convert already existing posts into a custom post type?

Nice Tutorial , Paul ! Thanks alot. Just got one question is that, I saw some tutorial using CPT IU plugin to create custom post field, then use ACF plugin to create field group. But You're just using ACF to create both. So, what is the different? Thanks

This is exactly what I am looking for. Ï now have the custom post types set up with their taxonomies so I can filter them later, but when I get to the generate blocks section, I don't have the 'Elements' option in Appearance. What am I missing? I'm guessing there's something else I should have installed. So far I have the 2023 theme, ACF & Generate Blocks pugins. That's it.

Great tutorial, btw you can add text before and after the dynamic without the inline block stuff.

Great tutorial 👍👍👍

Really could use more about Location Rules in Field Group Settings

i need to populate jobs from rest Api, a video guide plz,

should i create an API from Wordpress or from my third party databases?! i need to auto update jobs letsay

great video and thanks a lot, but for all those steps, is it possible to click the post in a single page and put the download button there?

If I want to buy, what is the name of the touchpad mouse that you are using?😅

Great! It worth being a premium course.

Sorry Paul, Do we need Generateblocks or Generatepress to pull the dynamic acf data?

How does ACF compare to JetEngine?

You always provide valuable content in my life. Thank you so much.

I’m not getting this. The tutorial is great, but the possibility to achieve the end result is near impossible - I have 1 ACF Pro licence… last part is makes no sense. Clear this up or don’t bother doing the rest. It’s coming across as bad as the ACF Pro lifetime ripoff. We’re is the free open source end result. This is all still about subscription. Tell us how to do this without subscription.

Thank you! Can you point me on how we could take this forward by adding 'filters' to this vacancies page? e.g. The user wishes to look at the 'job posts' for London alone.

Hello, beautiful video, when I created my custom post types ACF didn't offer this feature, so I used CPTUI, now that I imported my custom post types in ACF can I safely remove CPTUI without harming the custom post types?

How about custom content type like in jet engine?

I love this tutorial. Just what I needed. I would also appreciate a more advanced tutorial. 👍👍

How to put this use in Programmatic SEO =?

I've got to say that you nailed this tutorial Paul. Very well presented and really easy to understand and follow. Great work. Thank you. :)

I was thinking about creating a custom post type for adding products. Since products still don't need all the stuff in the default add product page, is it possible to replace it with a custom one? The owner (our client) can add the needed details, in one page, without going through the unnecessary stuff? It looks like a nice idea for a tutorial. Thank you for your awesome work and what you give to the wp community.

Love the new visual graphics and animations titles (etc) in the editing Paul! 
It already looked like a professional without a doubt, but the new additions bring your video to a complete different level! Great job buddy!

Hi, I'm following the video and I'm just creating the loop element, and for some reason all the 'block editing' disapears after 'Query Loop' > 'Grid"? Any ideas?

Brilliant tutorial really helpful.

You're Great...Thanks

Yes please let's make an advanced video for ACF a pro version would be awesome also.
