Displaying ACF fields

Advanced Views natively supports 30+ ACF field types.

ACF plugin (Advanced Custom Fields) is available in the free and Pro versions, and Advanced Views natively supports both of them.

With Advanced Views, you can display ACF fields everywhere: on any single page, CPT or category template, inside a widget.

1. How to display ACF fields

  1. Add one or more fields listed below

  2. Save the Layout, copy its shortcode

  3. Paste the shortcode inside the target place

By default, fields are loaded from the current post, Product, or CPT item. If you need to display fields of another post, customize the object-id shortcode argument, or define an inner field Layout.

Inside the Layout, you can mix fields from different providers and customize the template.

2. Supported ACF fields

Overall, Advanced Views supports all meta fields made in the Advanced Custom Fields plugin.

Advanced Views Lite supports field types from all the groups, excluding the Layout group (repeater, group, etc). These fields are supported only in Advanced Views Pro.

2.1) Basic group

  1. Text field

  2. Textarea field

  3. Range field

  4. Email field

  5. Url field

  6. Password field

2.2) Content group

2.3) Choice group

2.4) Relational group

2.5) Advanced Group

  1. Color Picker field

  2. Icon Picker field

2.6) Layout group

Field types from the Layout group are supported only in Advanced Views Pro.

  1. Repeater field - nested repeaters (repeater in repeater) are supported without limitations.

  2. Group field: nested groups (group in group) are supported without limitations.

  3. Flexible Content field: complex fields inside flexible layouts (like repeater or group) are supported without limitations.

  4. Clone field - known limitations: clones with the active "prefixed names" option aren't supported.

  5. Tab - the field has no value, so it is not present in the markup. It is useful only if you use Gutenberg blocks and want this field to be included in the created block.
