Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) is a popular WordPress plugin that allows you to easily add custom fields to your posts, pages, and other content types. Here’s a brief overview of the plugin and how to use it:
- Create a new custom field group: To create a new custom field group, go to the “Custom Fields” section in your WordPress dashboard and click on the “Add New” button. Give your custom field group a name and then click on the “Add Field” button to add your first custom field.
- Add custom fields: ACF provides a wide range of field types to choose from, including text fields, image fields, date pickers, and more. Choose the appropriate field type for your needs, and then configure the settings as necessary. You can also add multiple custom fields to a single custom field group.
- Assign your custom field group to a post type: Once you’ve created your custom field group and added your custom fields, you need to assign it to a post type. This determines which types of content will have access to your custom fields. To do this, go to the “Location” section of your custom field group and use the settings provided to specify which post types should have access to your custom fields.
- Use your custom fields: Once you’ve created your custom field group and assigned it to a post type, you can start using your custom fields. Simply edit a post or page of the appropriate type, and you should see your custom fields appear in the editor. You can then fill in the fields with the appropriate information, and ACF will automatically save and display the data on your website.
