    Hello,

    I am unable to see the custom fields I have added in the website.

    I have done the following:

    I have installed Custom Post Type and Advanced Custom Field plugins. Using them I created a custom post type and field group and associated the field group with post type.

    When I go to the new custom post, I see the fields I want. I enter the data and publish. I get a message that the page is published with a link to view it. Until this point everything is good.

    When I click on the link, I only see the default fields that come along with WordPress like Title and Body text. The new custom fields which I have added are not displayed.

    I am using WordPress 5.7 and the above mentioned plugins are compatible with this WordPress. I have tried it on two default themes Twenty Twenty and Twenty Twenty One.

    Thanks for any help!

  • Themes display what they know about (what comes with WordPress). If you add custom fields with a plugin, that plugin should provide a way to display them. The theme doesn’t know about the custom stuff you added.
    You might need to make a child theme and add the custom fields to the templates.
