Adding fields to custom post type

Hi Elliot!

It has been a long time. How are you today?

I’ve been following this guy’s tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2vX3MMpQW4

We have created a custom post type, and now we’re adding ACF fields to it.

However, as you can see on about 3:50 in the video, right after he submits his custom fields, they are immediately added to his custom post type called slides.

In my case, nothing is added. I can’t use the fields. Is there anything else I need to do before the fields show up in the custom post type?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Marcoevich

Hi Elliot,

I’ve been looking into this issue again this evening.

It appears to be caused by this ACF extension which you mention on your extions page: https://github.com/stormuk/Gravity-Forms-ACF-Field/

This thing is causing havoc and ACF will not work correctly as soon as I add a gravity forms field to my field group. You might wanna look into that.

Thanks,
Marcoevich

I have forked this repo and created a pull request for it. I’ve also contacted the author of this plugin.

I’m not that much of a PHP hero, but willing to spend some time to make this working. If either you or the original author can point me in the right direction, then hopefully people can use this again 🙂
