  I am using the CPT UI plugin and the advancedcustomfields plugin.

  First, I generated the Post Type “Matratze” with the CPT UI plugin. Here is the export code out of this plugin:

  {"matratze":{"name":"matratze","label":"Matratzen","singular_label":"Matratze","description":"","public":"true","show_ui":"true","show_in_nav_menus":"true","show_in_rest":"false","rest_base":"","has_archive":"false","has_archive_string":"","exclude_from_search":"false","capability_type":"post","hierarchical":"false","rewrite":"true","rewrite_slug":"","rewrite_withfront":"true","query_var":"true","query_var_slug":"","menu_position":"","show_in_menu":"true","show_in_menu_string":"","menu_icon":"","supports":["title","editor","thumbnail","excerpt","trackbacks","custom-fields","comments","revisions","author","page-attributes","post-formats"],"taxonomies":["category","post_tag"],"labels":{"menu_name":"","all_items":"","add_new":"","add_new_item":"","edit_item":"","new_item":"","view_item":"","search_items":"","not_found":"","not_found_in_trash":"","parent":"","featured_image":"","set_featured_image":"","remove_featured_image":"","use_featured_image":"","archives":"","insert_into_item":"","uploaded_to_this_item":"","filter_items_list":"","items_list_navigation":"","items_list":""},"custom_supports":""}}
  

  Further, I generated three custom fields with the advancedcustomfields plugin. As followed you can find the export codes:

  if( function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group') ):
  
  acf_add_local_field_group(array (
      'key' => 'group_5759b908ddfb5',
      'title' => 'Test',
      'fields' => array (
          array (
              'key' => 'field_5759b93fd444a',
              'label' => 'Test',
              'name' => 'test',
              'type' => 'text',
              'instructions' => '',
              'required' => 0,
              'conditional_logic' => 0,
              'wrapper' => array (
                  'width' => '',
                  'class' => '',
                  'id' => '',
              ),
              'default_value' => '',
              'placeholder' => '',
              'prepend' => '',
              'append' => '',
              'maxlength' => '',
              'readonly' => 0,
              'disabled' => 0,
          ),
          array (
              'key' => 'field_5759ba77d444b',
              'label' => 'Test 2',
              'name' => 'test_2',
              'type' => 'textarea',
              'instructions' => '',
              'required' => 0,
              'conditional_logic' => 0,
              'wrapper' => array (
                  'width' => '',
                  'class' => '',
                  'id' => '',
              ),
              'default_value' => '',
              'placeholder' => '',
              'maxlength' => '',
              'rows' => '',
              'new_lines' => 'wpautop',
              'readonly' => 0,
              'disabled' => 0,
          ),
          array (
              'key' => 'field_5759ba90d444c',
              'label' => 'Lol',
              'name' => 'lol',
              'type' => 'number',
              'instructions' => '',
              'required' => 0,
              'conditional_logic' => 0,
              'wrapper' => array (
                  'width' => '',
                  'class' => '',
                  'id' => '',
              ),
              'default_value' => '',
              'placeholder' => '',
              'prepend' => '',
              'append' => '',
              'min' => '',
              'max' => '',
              'step' => '',
              'readonly' => 0,
              'disabled' => 0,
          ),
      ),
      'location' => array (
          array (
              array (
                  'param' => 'post_type',
                  'operator' => '==',
                  'value' => 'matratze',
              ),
          ),
      ),
      'menu_order' => 0,
      'position' => 'normal',
      'style' => 'default',
      'label_placement' => 'top',
      'instruction_placement' => 'label',
      'hide_on_screen' => '',
      'active' => 1,
      'description' => '',
  ));
  
  endif;

  I finally, created a child theme for the standard twenty sixteen theme:

  

  My single-matratzen.pho file (I already tried the file name single-matratze) looks like the following:

  Test Test Test Test Test 12345
  <?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post();
  
  /* The following code displays the Advanced Custom Fields meta boxes */
  echo '<div class="intro-tekst"> ' . get_field('test') . ' </div>';
  echo '<div class="images"> ' . get_field('test_2') . ' </div>';
  echo '<div class="trailer"> ' . get_field('lol') . ' </div>';
  
  endwhile; endif; 
  ?>

  I would like to display the filled advanced custom fields within the post type of matratzen.

  Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?

  Your post type name is “matratze”
  The file name of your template should be “single-matratze.php” for the single post and “archive-matratze.php” for the archive page.
