Tagged: custom fields
Hi there,
I am trying to add custom fields to my posts ( venue, date, location etc) and am using the ACF plugin to create them. However I cant figure out how to display them in the post backend, and also therefore on the frontend. Could you tell me what pages I need to add code to?
Many thanks,
Mella
Hi mellasue!
Unfortunately that is quite a bit beyond what we can assist with here on the support forums. ACF has some good tutorials to get you started and if you need further assistance a freelance developer would be your next step.
Best regards,
Devin
Hi again,
Thanks for replying. Maybe this is still beyond what you can assist me with but maybe…
I have the ACF field group set up and its showing on the posts backend, and now I want to have the venue and date etc show on the posts page but I dont know what page to include this:
the_field( “text_field” );
Is it single.php or loop- index.php etc.
many thanks,
Mella
Hey Mella!
Try putting those tags in includes/loop-index.php, around line 184 (this is where the content gets included).
Cheers!

Hi Josue!
It worked! Thankyou so much! I was getting so frustrated and had looked up forums everywhere. You have made my day.
