    I’m trying to create a slider of featured images from an ACF Custom post type sorted using MFB to check if the post is marked as featured. Do you have any suggestions on what block slider might be compatible with it?

    Hello @kbarkhurst,

    To create a slider of featured images for any post type, you can use my other plugin called Content Blocks Builder. Here are some video tutorials on how to create it for free and without any coding effort:

    Excellent! I did NOT know about this other plugin; it looks quite powerful. Would you be able to perhaps demonstrate how it connects with the MFB Pro plugin in a video?

    Perhaps along these lines: I’m using the 2024 theme and have MFB Pro and ACF Pro. I have a Custom Post Type, let’s say called Projects created with ACF. On the home page, I want to show a carousel of the Projects that are tagged with a specific taxonomy, let’s say Web Design.

    The Query Loop use is confusing to me here because I’m not sure how to set it to look for a custom post type. On a custom post type-specific archive, the loop is querying that post type automatically and the loop is easier to use.

    How would I go about creating a carousel that is pulling a custom post type that fits certain parameters, such as a taxonomy or perhaps a toggle from ACF that is checked as true “featured.” In this second scenario, I would want to show any Project (from the ACF custom post type) that has a value for the field that is toggled as Featured. I’d want to show the Featured Image and Title of the Post in the carousel.

    Thank you!

    @kbarkhurst CBB can display that kind of carousel. It extends the core Query Loop block, so you can have all core features from the Query Loop and extended filter features from CBB. Here is the full list of video tutorials on how to customize the Query Loop with CBB:

    If you still need further assistance, please let me know.

    In the extended filters and sorting section for the Query Loop block, you can filter posts by taxonomy (core feature), or handpicking post Ids, by parent post, or by meta field values as your use case. It’s really ease to use it if you’re already familiar with the core Query Loop.
