Display custom post types on website

  • I created a custom post type (named: publications), added a post and inserted data in the custom fields. How do I show this post WITH the custom fields on my website? And can I add them to a category?

    I expected that I could choose the post type in the regular post but that doesn’t seem possible.

    Hi there,

    Secure Custom Fields (SCF) is a tool to create the fields without using custom code, but you still need use the plugin functions to show the field data on these posts.

    For instance, you can use the_field('publication_release_date'); on a loop with all the posts for this CPT, and it will show this data.

    Alternatively, you can also use a shortcode on your content such as [acf field=”{$publication_release_date}”] to show this dynamically.

    Okay, I’ll try Pods as alternative.
