custom queries not displaying?

    I looked around the forum, and I am guessing that a custom field will need to be created as in the example: https://gist.github.com/daggerhart/10417309

    I haven’t done this, because I am not a programmer, and am hoping instead that custom fields created through the Advanced Custom Fields plugin can be used. Unfortunately, when I attempt to use these fields (and others that came with my theme) they are found, but no data is displayed in the results.

    Can you provide any information about why these custom fields are not working with your plugin, or any possible workarounds?

    Thanks, great plugin!

    Hi pcoan,

    To use ACFs, you need to make sure the Row style is set to “fields”. Then, add fields for each part of the post you’d like to show. For ACF fields in QW, you’ll find them listed as “Custom Field: field_slug”. Each Custom Field should have a setting called “Display Handler”, that you should set to “Advanced Custom Fields: get_field”.

    That should make the ACF field look right in a query. Let me know if you continue to run into issues.

    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    Just to clarify,

    The gist you linked to is for adding a QW field. That will give you a new option in the QW “Add Fields” interface, but it doesn’t add the field to a post like ACF does.

    Chances are you want to use ACF to add custom fields (meta boxes) to your content, and in QW you want to make sure to use the “Row Style” Fields, and use the ACF display handler on any ACF created fields.
