I had to pause the video so I could tell you what a great presenter you are. So often these instructional videos forget they are most likely talking to a noobie. You are clear, concise and you remember I am here because I don't understand the topic yet.

Thank you!!!!

[keithevanson]

Thanks for your explanation of CPT UI and ACF with Elementor. It has been the clearest this far. Thanks again.

Hi Imran, Thanks for the great video. Really like how you your self get all excited about the possibilities of ACF during your tutoring. :)
Just one note, you may want to slow it down a little for less technical users to be able to keep up with you.

[MartyEnglander]

Good tutorial. Thanks

FYI: at 2:00 there is a link under the input field that will auto populate the names based on your initial input.

Glad you had a deeper look into ACF and mainly Custom Post Types. Isn't it great to have custom data fields with almost whatever you like or prefer there? For me, it opened the doors to a whole new world back in the days. Changed my way of thinking as the Title and Text-Editor is very limited, you were kinda stuck in there with all your content.

Great videos - thanks for doing these. Very helpful. Do you know of a plugin / snippet that can generate a table of ACF fields (product specifications)? Field Name | Field Data, and only show rows where data is populated. Thank you

[HuzanForbes]

Hi,
Great video & it helped a lot. However, how can I display conditions for the multiple posts

[fabiano]

Hello Web Squadron! Thanks for providing us with such excellent content! Are you planning a new video any time soon since, ACF now supports Taxonomies and Custom Types natively? Thank you!

[EPHONIC]

Couldn’t you also create the web address as a text editor field (Tiny MCE) and then set the link there and then display that field for the web address?

[wunderingthoughts]

so dynamic tag (in the elementor text editor section) isn't available as an option in the free elementor (example 25:15 ish) is there anyway around this? can I use shortcodes or something to display some acf fields using elementor?

Thanks for making excellent video! May I know what chat plug-in I can add in for each property detail page if I want the potential prospect and agent can communicate and discuss or ask/reply questions under the overview/description part?

22:34 - I have ACF Pro and it still doesn't show the URL. I think this is a limitation (of bug) in Elementor - not ACF.

Another terrific video! Off to create my events.

One thing I didn't see or missed in the video. Is there a way to specify the order the custom post types are displayed on the custom post type archive page? So I'm using it for events. Is there a way to show the events in Date order and not display them after the date has passed?

[BestMLMDXN]

Sir, what do you say about PODS ?

It has support for both : Custom Post Types and Custom Fields.

If i need to chose between the two, which one should I go for to create Custom Post Types and Custom Fields?

Which one has edge over the other and how ?

The Two are :

1. PODS Framework and

2. ACF With CPT UI

I am little confused between the two . Please guide.

Warm regards,

Any thoughts on why I can't seem to get JetSmartFilters to filter my CPT? I have a call coming up with them but until then, would love some tip!

[joaocerejeira]

Hi nice video!! Do you know if with this tool I can also insert the yoast fields of the post via API?

[alexoliveiranorton]

Is it possible to dynamically hide a section and its header if there is no text in the respective ACF field? For example, I have a created a custom post type + template that I utilize for Professor profiles for a university. Some professors do not provide information for some fields (like "Academic Awards", for example), in which case I want the header text of the section not to appear in the template on the front-end.
