Working with ACF and default fields not showing up
-
Hello,
I use your plugin a lot with the Advanced Custom Fields, which gives control over which fields are editable / viewable with a CPT. I’ve noticed recently that sometimes I’m unable to get a basic field — like featured image, order, author, etc. — to show up, even if in the ACF settings I’ve said they should be visible.
I got a tip via a question another plugin author asked me (about a separate, but I’m thinking perhaps the same issue here) about how I was adding the CPTs and what settings were associated with them. This lead me to look into the settings in your plugin and, voila, way down at the bottom there’s that “Supports” section, which lists all of those basic fields I’ve been having trouble with.
So, I try it out. I’ve got a CPT called project-album and I want to use the Featured Image field, although I’d originally left it out. In ACF I tell it to show that field… and in the CPT settings I check it in the “Supports” section. However, still no go; there’s no Featured Image in my Project Album add/edit views. (And it’s not hiding in the Screen Options, either.)
Any idea what I might be missing here? Thanks!
