I am rebuilding a site in Enfold that was originally built in a custom theme. Our client wanted a more user friendly theme for editing their site.
They use ACF extensively. I’ve gone through all the tutorials with ACF and enfold documentation, and I know how to build a custom template. Works great! except….
We have several fields that are File fields, and one oEmbed field. Both of those types convert to wp_fields in dynamic content, and as a result they do not show up. I noticed that in its current state, those fields are not currently compatible with Enfold dynamic content.
What is the best way to make these field types work.
I’m also dealing with how to show the post types once they are created. but first let’s deal with the field types. I’ll give you both the original site to look at, as well as our site. I’ll put it in private content.
I would set it up differently, using the traditional post, but we are transferring all of their ACF post types and previous creations. which need to be available in the Enfold version of the site. plus post creation using the ACF is great for them knowing how to do it already, as opposed to me doing it differently in the future.
Hi,
Sorry for the delay. The site burlagepete25 is not available and we can’t login to the main site using the credentials provided. Please check the info carefully.
Best regards,
IsmaelSorry, that’s burlagepeter25.wpenginepowered.com
And I can give you access to the original site, but it’s not enfold… I’ll put it in the private content
Hi,
Sorry for the late response. According to the documentation, File and OEmbed fields are not yet supported. You may need to implement a custom solution to extract the values of these fields for your custom layout. Here is the list of supported ACF fields.
Best regards,
IsmaelSo next step… how do I tell a page to show ALB posts? And can I set up buttons to show them by year in the results page.
Like on the original site.
for instance, I want upcoming auctions to be displayed in a column on the home page. if it were normal posts, I would use a blog posts element on my page, and I would tell it which categories to show. and I would show the newest first. I could tell it to only show the two most recent listings.
but my ALB for Auctions and Listings are not in the Blog Post element. is there a way to make that happen there? or do I have to completely code this process?
in addition, when an auction or listing is “sold” it is supposed to file itself into the results page… and then show them there. I have a results page set up, but it looks horrible… it was originally set up as a menu item as a Post Type Archive. I don’t even have the option to add Post Type Archives as another menu option on here… so I can’t recreate it.
There is a CPT UI taxonomy set up to create a sold switch in the auctions and listings Field Groups. but not sure how to show them, or style them.
here is the results page on the original site

Hi,
As mentioned above, you will need to create a custom solution for these fields, such as a custom shortcode. Please check the link below for more info.

To display custom post types in the Blog Posts element, make sure that custom taxonomies are attached to them. Then, set Content > Select Entries > Content To Display to Display entries from a custom taxonomy.
For this type of customization, you can contact our partner, Codeable.
