Customising a post

Hello,
I’m not a developer so I’m a little in trouble in what I have to do:
* I created all custom post fields and associated them to a specific category post called “Esercitazione”
Then:
* I need not only the answers, but also the labels to be displayed in frontend posts, without affecting the template of the posts associated to other categories
Is there a way to solve it?
I tried several instructions, but still I can’t figure out how.
Thank you in advance for your patience
D

Part of this is outside of ACF and that’s having a template for a post in a specific category. For this you should take a look at https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_post_categories and https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part. Basically you need to see what category your post is in and then either get a standard content template or a separate content template based on that.

I would probably use a custom post type instead, https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types

As far as showing the label and the value of a field, this is the basics

$value = get_field('field_name');
$field = get_field_object('field_name');
echo $field['label'],': ',$value;
