  Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could help me with this.

  I have a Custom Post Type called “discounts”.

  I have 3 “discounts” posts.

  Each post consists of 1 custom field made with ACF where a URL must be placed the name of the field is “link_discounts_1”.

  Now it turns out that in my blog posts I usually place affiliate links, but these links may change over time. So instead of placing each link what I want is to place a shortcode that takes the URL from the CPT “discounts” / post id / “link_discounts_1”.

  Has anyone done something like this that can give me a light on how to do it?

  You are going to have to build your own shortcode in PHP to do this.

  I would suggest starting here https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_shortcode/
