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!!!!
@websquadron I would like to briefly ask, what if the user wants to upload a video instead of an image? How would you go about displaying only that user's video?
Hey Imran! Awesome video! I reached until 17:33, but at that point I don't have this filter query -> source. I am using Phlox and Elementor and I don't have regular posts element. I have some other posts lists but those don't have this filter. What can I do? I there some plugin to display posts and having this filter? I can't google out anything (nor chat gpt it)
I love your videos man, I usually never comment on UA-cam but this time you shared too much value for me not to comment! Amazing work thanks so so so much and continue like that 💪💪💪
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
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.
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?
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?
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.
Great tutorial Imran!! I am stuck on something I'm trying to achieve: Having 2 text fields in my Elementor template BUT in between those I would be calling data from an API (example: Live airfare prices). So I would have content above the API data and content below. But with the standard 'Post Content' element...I (obviously?) can't have 2 of those in the template. Also, how do you get the ACF text area field to actually be editable in the page in Elementor? When I create a new page I can only edit it in the Wordpress Gutenberg editor. I know...alot I'm asking here, but either way...great stuff and keep it coming!
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?
@@websquadron Have you added the google map field either? I'm having a hard time figuring out where the API code goes. Their documentation is above my head.
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, Vivek Kumar ( Dehri On Sone , Bihar, India)
This is a great tutorial! Thank you! I do have one question. Is there a way to set it so that if they lets say don't enter a phone number, it doesn't display anything? I have it set up for our rescue and I have fields that are conditional. So for example, there is a conditional field for "Adoption fee:" but some horses aren't adoptable so it doesn't get filled out. On the page though, it stills shows because its part of the layout. and it just shows "Adoption fee: " and no amount. I'm not seeing how to avoid this! Any help would be great!! THANK YOU!
Thanks a lot for this in-depth tutorial. Appreciate it! Also I stumbled upon an issue with ACF, when I tried to make the video widget of elementor dynamic. Somehow it does not display the UA-cam video. I tried with the ACF text field and url field for the same. If you could throw some light on that, would be really helpful.
@@websquadron Thank you for the reply. Interestingly it works on a custom post page. But when I call the video link on the homepage it doesn't work. Just wondering what I missed🤔
Thanks for the Video... I typically find your videos very helpful. I have a question. How to do you display a taxonomy? On my site I have Different Taxonomies - Blog, News, Video, etc... I created. I want to display the Taxonomy in a text field group in Elementor in a loop grid, but I can't get it to work. Nothing shows up. I also created an image field associated with the specific taxonomy, and tried to use ACF Views to display it. I was able to attach a photo to the Taxonomy in the admin menu, but displaying it on Elementor has proven to be difficult. Nothing shows up, so I'm very confused. Basically, have elementor show a [image] - [taxonomy] inside a loop grid associated with the post that it is assigned to.
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?
Imran, thank you for this tutorial. I also followed your Single Post Template tutorial. The issue I am having is that after following this tutorial when I open my test page with my posts and click on one of them, I only see a blank page. The actual single post is not showing up. Any idea why this is happening? Thank you again for all the work you've been doing. It is pretty amazing.
@@websquadron it was a really silly thing I did. I switched the page layout to Elementor Full Width. I changed it to Default and it seems like it is working now!!! Thank you for responding so quickly. Much appreciated.
Hi Imran! I know this is an old video of yours but I figured I’d ask. I’ve been having trouble pulling an element using ACF (I’ve tried several field types). One of their recent updates broke that and they have documentation on it but the functions.php change they suggested hasn’t worked for me. Have you come across this issue before?
@@websquadron my use case is actually an embed map from Google Maps, if that makes a difference. What I found via search was that an ACF update started to block s and that changes to the theme functions.php with some provided code would work but it has not worked for me.
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!
@@websquadron Man, thank you! I am a subscriber to his channel too, but I didn't know a new video was coming out today. I'll keep checking your content. I will let him know about you recommending him. Take care! :)
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.
Wow, there was a LOT of information in that video. I need to have a (non-technical) user log in to a website built with Elementor Pro, upload 2 types of PDFs (agendas and minutes) and have each automatically display on their respective page in chronological order for the general public to see. I don't need anything but the PDF and maybe a title in each post. Would the methods you described in your video combined with a custom EPro archive templates be able to achieve this?
is the Elementor Preview Settings only available with Elementor PRO? i dont see it on the free version. my dynamic images and fields are not getting pulled and not being displayed.
@@websquadron i am on the edit with elementor view. I tried it and put Dynamic Elements(Image, Field, Gallery) and try to pull from cpt source, but the Preview Settings is not there.
Hello, Thanks for the video. Now with the ACF we can get rid with the CPT UI. So I modified and made a successful page. However, Im now trying to add a page with Unlimited elements google map, but I just cant get the coordinates to show. It shows the title and featured image only. So I then in post types in advanced settings, added Custom, latitude and longitude thinking that will then show in the post and be accessed but failed. Is there anyway we can make a locations map with various addresses (coordinates) added as custom fields and get them to show as markers on the map (i.e it should query over all the projects(in my case), in the projects custom field with various labels? I do not have acf pro, but I do have elementor pro and unlimited elements premium. Thank you so much for your content!
Hi, do you use Elementor free or Pro? I'm following your steps with Elementor free but I have to stop when I try to insert dynamic content, it seems that it is not allowed 😭
Hi, Good day. I tried creating a Custom Post type for a writer's portfolio... Now they have an archive of pieces (articles) they've written for other websites which I want the post title to link to those articles on those websites. (right now it just links to the custom post on the site I'm building) What do you think I can do please? Thanks in advance. 🙏
I'd need more details to understand that better, but we don't do 1-2-1 Site Support for free anymore. You could use a Headline instead, and then ensure that is dynamically set to the post title, and then make the URL for the headline point to the Web Address.
No purpose, none of the set feilds are displayed. It was actually an update that always has big changes so this video is out of date. The classic settings that were once used no longer work.

Yes you can use shortcodes and I have several videos on that - especially for repeater fields.
Hi,
Great video & it helped a lot. However, how can I display conditions for the multiple posts
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.
Hi Imran, Thanks for the great video. Really like how you your self get all excited about the possibilities of ACF during your tutoring. :)

No probs.
Here's a tip - click the cog - and decrease the speed to be a little slower. :)
Great video. How does this compare to Pods? I have a site that uses Pods. Should I switch for any reason?
Both are great and it just comes down to choice. Pods does offer some fields like Gallery for Free that you need ACF Pro for.
Thanks, Imran. Do you cover this kind of stuff in your awesome Elementor course?
